Croatia stun Spain as Jedvaj strikes twice to keep hopes alive

Spain passed up the chance to seal progress to the Nations League finals as they were beaten 3-2 by Croatia, undone by a 93rd-minute winner from Tin Jedvaj.

Jedvaj's late strike leaves Group 4 wide open ahead of its final fixture between England and Croatia on Sunday. The victors will qualify, while Spain can still go through if the match at Wembley finishes in a draw.

Croatia were deserving winners in Zagreb, where Jedvaj scored twice -- his first international goals -- to snatch a memorable victory at the end of a pulsating contest.

Andrej Kramaric had put Croatia ahead but twice Spain came back, as Dani Ceballos' equaliser and Sergio Ramos' penalty looked to have earned them a point, before Jedvaj prodded in deep into injury-time on Thursday.

Croatia will now head to London with a spring in their step while Spain are left to ponder back-to-back defeats under their new coach Luis Enrique, following their surprise loss by the same scoreline at home to England last month.

"I am obviously worried about the things we have to improve. But I think football today has not been fair to us," Enrique said.

Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic said: "We were rewarded for a magnificent match."
"It shows it was a very difficult group," Luis Enrique added. "We still have a chance."
