Croatia secured a spot in the Nations League final after eliminating the Netherlands with a 4-2 victory in Rotterdam on Wednesday. In an intense match that went into extra time, Croatia displayed their prowess by scoring two crucial goals. They will now face either Italy or Spain, who will compete in the second semi-final in Enschede on Thursday. This achievement brings Croatia closer to their first major title, building upon their impressive performance in the previous World Cup where they claimed third place. Bruno Petkovic, a substitute player, ignited the team’s success with a remarkable curled shot from the edge of the penalty area early in extra time. Luka Modric sealed Croatia’s triumph by converting a late penalty, their second of the game.
