France Lose On Mbappe Return, Ronaldo Silenced!

France Lose On Mbappe Return, Ronaldo Silenced!

Croatia 2-0 France

France are in danger of missing out on the UEFA Nations League semi-finals after losing 2-0 Croatia on Thursday night.

Kylian Mbappe was back in the side and took the captain's armband while he was joined in the attack by Ousmane Dembele and Randal Kolo Muani.

Even with the return of Mbappe, Croatia went on to take the lead in the 26th minute through Ante Budimir's strike.

Ivan Perisic bagged the second goal on the stroke of halftime, which ultimately sealed the win.

Denmark 1-0 Portugal 

Denmark took a slight advantage in their quarter-final tie after defeating Portugal 1-0 in Copenhagen.

The hosts had a chance to take the lead on 28 minutes from the penalty spot, but Christian Eriksen's spot-kick was saved by Diogo Costa.

Denmark went on to bag the winning goal in the 78th minute thanks to second-half substitute Rasmus Hojlund.

Netherlands 2-2 Spain

Spain struck late in the second half to secure a 2-2 draw against the Netherlands in the first leg.

The visitors opened the scoring ninth minute when Lamine Yamal won the ball high up before picking out Pedri, who in turn teed the ball up for Nico Williams to slam home.

The Dutch turned things around after Cody Gakpo equalised on 28 minutes, before Tijjani Reijnders put the hosts 2-1 up after the break.

The hosts finished the game with ten men after Jorrel Hato was sent off on 81 minutes, before Mikel Merino snatched the equaliser for Spain in time added on.

Italy 1-2 Germany 

Germany rallied from behind to secure a 2-1 win over Italy in the first leg on Thursday night.

The Italian got off to the perfect start when Sandro Tonali opened the scoring with a first-time finish after latching onto a ball in the box.

Tim Kleindienst pulled one for the Germans five minutes after the break, before Leon Goretzka bagged the winning goal for the visitors on 76 minutes.
