Austria 0-1 Croatia
Croats Stumble To Victory As Germans Throw Down The Gauntlet
It has been a somewhat predictable and unsurprising opening two days to the European Championships in Austria and Switzerland, with all four of the favourites for their games picking up maximum points. In fact, the ‘underdogs’ haven’t even scored a single goal between them although, as ever, the statistics don’t quite tell the entire story.
Austria 0-1 Croatia: Two hosts find spirit alone is not enough
Like the Czech Republic, Croatia laboured to a one-goal victory when it ought to have been far easier over co-hosts Austria. Tottenham’s Luca Modric scored from the penalty spot to hand a key victory to Bilic’s side.
