Spain come from behind to beat Croatia in the Nations League

Spain overturned its deficit against Croatia with two goals to claim victory in the closing minutes of the UEFA Nations League. Trailing by a goal, the Spanish side turned a difficult position into a valuable win; the final score is not established here.

Croatia started with intensity. In the 7th minute, Perišić came close to putting his side ahead, but Unai Simón kept out his shot. The Spanish goalkeeper was called into action again in the 13th minute, turning away Stanišić’s header from a cross.

Croatia’s pressure then paid off. In the 14th minute, Ivan Perišić headed in after Unai Simón had parried a Mitrović shot. Croatia continued to push for a second goal, but Simón prevented the home side from extending its lead.

Spain’s late comeback ultimately secured an important Nations League victory. Croatia had taken the lead and looked to widen the gap, but Spain fought back and moved in front with its two goals.
