Croatia are into the last round of the 2018 World Cup after beating Iceland 2 – 1 in Rostov last night. Goals from Fiorentina’s Milan Badelj and Inter Milan’s Ivan Perisic saw Croatia qualify with three wins from three and top Group D.

The Croatian manager, Zlatko Dalic, made nine changes to the team that beat Argentina 3 – 0 last week, however the revamped team proved too good for Iceland. "The fact is that we have 22 players we can really be proud of. The most important thing here is that we have managed to continue our string of victories which helps us retain our good spirits, we certainly would not have been as happy if it had ended in a draw," commented Badelj.

Croatia now face Denmark, who finished second in their group, in the final rounds of the 2018 World Cup. The match will be played in Nizhny Novgorod on the 1st of July.
