Croatia was better than Poland, especially in the first half they created many chances, but the question is how the match in Osijek would have ended if Zlatko Dalić did not have master Luka Modrić on the field.
It was the Eurogoal of Real Madrid's ace from a free kick, a moment of elegance and inspiration, that led the "fire" to triumph - Modrić scored in the 52nd minute into the very upper corner of the rival's goal and brought his team the first victory in the A League of Nations.
The Poles could have equalized later, Robert Lewandowski hit the crossbar - Dominik Livaković survived, and Modrić became a hero. For the umpteenth time...
