2-2！ Croatia suffered a draw, and qualifying is worrying! Jasura saved in stoppage time, and Manchester City's defenders were sluggish
Croatia suffered a draw, and their prospects of qualification are in doubt
In a highlight-hearted battle in the second round of the group stage of last night's European Championship, Croatia and Albania faced out in a thrilling match. As a fan, I sat in front of the TV and watched the ups and downs of the game. Croatia, the 10th-ranked team in the world, faced a big challenge in this game, and finally drew 2-2 with Albania, and the qualification situation became more and more difficult.
First, the start was unfavorable, and Croatia fell into passivity
From the start of the game, Croatia showed strong possession of the ball, and they firmly controlled the tempo of the game through precise passing and tacit coordination. However, Albania were not discouraged by this, and they took advantage of the gaps in Croatia's offensive to launch quick counter-attacks. In the 11th minute, Albania seized a chance to break the deadlock on the pitch with a header from Lachi. The goal undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Croatia's players, who began to look more desperately for an equaliser.
For the remainder of the first half, Croatia dominated the pitch but their attack was thunderous and rainy. Albania defended tightly and Croatia's players struggled to find a break in the box. On the contrary, Albania's counter-attack brought no small threat to the Croatian defence. At half-time, Croatia fell behind 0-1 and qualified in jeopardy.
Second, in the second half of the counterattack, Croatia once led
Heading into the second half, Croatia significantly stepped up their attack. They tried to break down the Albanian defence through constant passing and running. In the 74th minute, Croatia finally ushered in a turnaround. Kramaric slotted a low shot from angle in the box to pull a goal back for Croatia. The goal gave Croatia's players hope of a comeback and they started to be more involved in the game.
Sure enough, in the 77th minute, Croatia attacked again. After Kovacic split the ball on the left, Budimir followed up with an inverted triangle pass, and although the shot was blocked, the ball accidentally bounced off Jasura's foot and into the back of the net. 2-1, Croatia overtook the score with this lucky goal! At this time, the atmosphere on the pitch reached a climax, and the Croatian players and fans cheered and jumped.
Third, the last moment was a draw, and Croatia lost a good game
However, just as Croatia were on the verge of victory, the game took another turn. In the 95th minute, Albania launched a quick counter-attack. Jasula fired a low shot from the middle of the box to level the score at 2-2. The goal gave the Albanian players a renewed confidence and they started to be more engaged in the game. The Croatian players were plunged into a brief moment of confusion by the sudden blow.
In the end, Croatia drew 2-2 with Albania. This draw is undoubtedly a heavy blow for Croatia. They had a chance to emerge victorious and boost their hopes of qualifying, but in the end they were denied a good result by a goalless equaliser. This match is undoubtedly a profound lesson for Croatia's players, who will need to be more focused and work hard to achieve better results in the upcoming matches.
Fourth, qualifying is worrying, and Croatia needs to adjust its state
After this match, Croatia's qualification situation became more and more difficult. In Group B, they will need to compete with the likes of Spain and Italy, and Albania should not be underestimated. If Croatia can't adjust their form and play their part in the next games, they will most likely face the fate of being eliminated.
For Croatia, they will need to carefully analyse the mistakes and deficiencies in this game and figure out how to solve them. They need to strengthen their defense, reduce turnovers, and improve their offensive efficiency. At the same time, they also need to adjust the mentality of the players so that they can stay calm and confident for the upcoming games. Only then will Croatia be able to achieve better results in the upcoming matches and boost their qualification hopes.
As a fan, I was disappointed with the result, but I still believe in Croatia's quality and potential. I'm sure they'll be able to adjust their form and play to their quality in the next games. No matter what the end result is, I will always support them and cheer them on!
