Croatia and Portugal played to a 1-1 draw at Stadion Poljud in Split on Matchday 6 of Group A1 in the 2024-25 UEFA Nations League.
The tightly contested encounter saw Croatia secure second place and advance to the next round, while Portugal had already guaranteed their progression before the match.
Portugal, missing their star captain Cristiano Ronaldo, saw head coach Roberto Martínez rest several key players due to their early qualification.
João Félix put Portugal ahead in the first half with a well-taken goal following an assist from Vitinha. However, Croatia responded with determination, and Manchester City defender Joško Gvardiol’s equalizer ensured the hosts joined Portugal in the next stage.
