The final round of October’s first Nations League encounters concludes on Saturday.

Croatia comeback downs Scotland

Scorers: Matanović 36′, Kramarić 70′; Ćaleta-Car OG 33′

Croatia produced a comeback to claim a 2-1 win over Scotland.

The visitors opened the scoring through Duje Ćaleta-Car’s sending his clearance from Ryan Christie’s short on the turn into his own net.

But their advantage lasted all of three minutes as Igor Matanović levelled by powering home from Ivan Perišić’s right-sided cross.

Zlatko Dalić’s side took the lead in the second half when Andrej Kramarić headed the rebound from Craig Gordon parrying Borna Sosa’s shot.

Deep into added time, Ché Adams appeared to have snatched a point for the Tartan Army but saw his effort disallowed for offside.

The Kockasti now sit behind Portugal on goal difference in League A Group 1 while Scotland remain rooted to the foot of the table.
