Impressive Croatia troubled Portugal before the Euros – Vida and Ronaldo on the bench

Winner (1-2) in the friendly match with Portugal held in Lisbon, the Croatian.

Hrvatska was better in the game. Especially in the first half, in which he dominated. After all, he took the lead quite early, just at 8′ with his penalty kick Modric.

The hosts made four changes at the start of the second half, picking up the pace afterwards. In fact, they tied at 48′ with the finish before an empty hearth by Zotaafter Semedos’ “take-and-take”.

However, his team Zlatko Dalic regained her lead at 56′with Pasalic sending the ball to the post with a shooter and the Budimir to take the “rebound” by scoring from close range.

It should be noted that the Domagoi Vida of AEK remained on the bench for Croatia (as opposed to the previous friendly with North Macedonia where he played the entire match), as did Cristiano Ronaldo for Portugal.

Certainly, a performance that troubled the Iberians, who will play their last friendly before the European Championship on Tuesday (11/6, 21:45) against Ireland.

On the contrary, Croatia – who completed their friendly matches – continued their positive performances (after the 3-0 win over North Macedonia) going into the competition with a very good mentality.
