England defeats Croatia 7-0 in Nations League FAST-MOVING
England secured a dominant 7-0 victory against Croatia in a UEFA Nations League Group A match held in Rijeka. The match featured standout performances from Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, with Kane scoring twice and Bukayo Saka also netting a brace. Bellingham contributed significantly with a goal and multiple assists.
Croatia's performance was described by manager Slaven Bilic as a ‘nightmare’ and the heaviest defeat in the team's history. Veteran midfielder Luka Modric expressed deep embarrassment following the loss, noting a lack of intensity and cohesion. Due to previous disciplinary sanctions, the stadium was partially filled by approximately 6,000 children under the supervision of tutors, utilizing a UEFA regulatory exception.
With this win, England moves to six points in Group 3, positioning themselves strongly in the standings. Croatia remains at three points and faces a challenging upcoming fixture against Spain.
