Notes

Petko is the nickname of Croatian forward Bruno Petkovic.

Netherlands 2-4 Croatia. Semi-Final Nations League # 15 June 2023

Croatia scored twice in extra time  in Rotterdam.   Bruno Petkovic, on as a substitute, scored with a stunning shot from the edge of the penalty area eight minutes into the additional period to put Croatia  on their way, with Luka Modric making sure of the triumph with a late penalty, the visitors’ second of the game. The first was scored by Andrej Kramaric on 55 minutes.
The Netherlands, hosting the four-nation tournament, had taken the lead through Donyell Malen’s goal on 34 minutes but were increasingly outplayed by Zlatko Dalic’s side.
