Thanks to its Bundesliga professionals, Croatia is still clearly in the direction of the World Cup 2026. The World Cup in 2022 won the fourth game in the qualification for the tournament in the USA, Mexico and Canada and also enthroned the fourth game and sucks after the 4-0 (1-0) success in Zagreb against Montenegro with a flawless record of the group L.
After Andrej Kroaten had already shot the Croatians on the Faroe Islands for the 1-0 win last Friday, it was against Montenegro Kristijan Jakic from FC Augsburg, who scored the lead (35th). After a yellow-red card against Montenegros Andrija Bulatovic (42.), the Hoffenheimer Kramaric (51.) initially increased before an own goal of EDVIN KUC (85.) after a shot from the Wolfsburg Lovro Majer, and former Bundesliga professional Ivan Perisic (90.+2) provided the final score.
Jakic, who had most recently met in the Bundesliga for FC Augsburg against Bayern Munich, scored his first international goal at the presentation of Croatia’s football icon Luka Modric with a Schlenzer edge from the edge of the penalty area. It was also Modric who was fouled before the break from the 21-year-old Bulatovic, so that the 18-year-old Montenegrin collected the second yellow card. After that, the Croatians hardly got any resistance.
Kramaric and Jakic against Montenegro were just as much in the starting eleven of coach Zlatko Dalic like Josip Stanisic from FC Bayern, who prepared the 2-0. Majer was substituted in the 71st minute.
