(PRIMASPORT) RIVER England dominated Croatia 7-0 on Matchday 3 of the Nations League in Rijeka. Manager Thomas Tuchel's team delivered a convincing performance, with braces from Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka and goals from Anthony Gordon, Jude Bellingham, and Morgan Rogers.
The match, initially scheduled behind closed doors for disciplinary reasons, was attended by six thousand Croatian children invited by the federation and around one hundred English fans. Harry Kane scored in the eighth minute of the first half and eighth minute of the second, while Bukayo Saka added his goals in the 45th minute of the first half and the 23rd minute of the second. Other scorers included Anthony Gordon (39th minute of the second half), Jude Bellingham, who also provided three assists, in the 21st minute of the first half, and Morgan Rogers, a second-half substitute, in the 42nd minute of the second half.
With this result, England will aim to finish among the top two in their group and qualify for the quarterfinals of the competition, scheduled for March. England's next match will be against the Czech Republic at Wembley, while Croatia, fresh from their victory over the Czech Republic and defeats against Spain and England, will face Spain again on the following matchday.
