Croatia Qualifies for UEFA Nations League Final

Croatia scored two goals in extra time to win 4-2 against host Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League semi-final in Rotterdam on Wednesday, qualifying for the final next Sunday. Substitute Bruno Petković struck a powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area eight minutes into extra time to give Croatia a 3-2 lead before captain Luka Modrić secured the victory with a late penalty, the second for his national team in the match. The Dutch team, which is hosting the four-nation tournament, forced the match into extra time when Noa Lang scored a last-minute goal to equalize at 2-2, despite being largely dominated by their home crowd at the Feijenoord Stadium. Croatia is seeking to secure their first major title after continuing their impressive performance in last year's World Cup in Qatar, where they finished third.
