Scotland Triumphs Over Croatia in a Thrilling Hampden Park Encounter
Glasgow, November 15, 2024 – Scotland defeated Croatia in a thrilling UEFA Nations League match at Hampden Park in Glasgow. The game, officiated by Orel Grinfeeld (Israel), was marked by Croatia’s lack of discipline.
Scotland dominated possession (55%) and created more clear-cut chances, despite Croatia having more shots (12 to 8). The difference lay in accuracy, with Scotland putting two shots on target, one finding the back of the net. The goal came in the 86th minute, courtesy of a precise finish by John McGinn, unassisted.
P. Sucic’s red card in the 44th minute, following a second yellow, dramatically changed the course of the game. Croatia had already accumulated three other yellow cards (Sucic, Caleta-Car and Modric) before the red card, showing a lack of control that ultimately cost them dearly. Despite having more shots and corners, Croatia couldn’t breach Scotland’s resolute defence. The final score was 1-0 to the home side, a deserved victory that solidifies their position in the Nations League.
