Austria 0 – 1 Croatia Highlights
1-0 Luka Modric scores the only goal of the match from a 4th minute penalty kick.
Croatia obtained an expected win a few minutes ago against one of the hosting nations Austria. Slaven Bilic’s side was clearly the better one but the Croatians decided to defend the early 1-0 leas instead of trying to build on it.
Austria benefited from this unexpected privilege and raced for the equalizer. They couldn’t obtain it, so they have to accept the 0-1 defeat that resulted from Luka Modric’s penalty kick goal. The goal was registered in the 4th minute.
