Despite a subdued first half and an early goal from Perisic, the Arsenal midfielder came on in the second half and turned the tide with goals in the 61st and 89th minutes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">The match had started badly for Spain, who fell behind in the 17th minute with Perisic&#039;s tap-in after a save from Unai Sim\u00f3n. In the second half, the world champions took control and mounted a comeback, thanks in part to the contributions of Olmo and Zubimendi. Croatia were reduced to ten men following the red card of Perisic, who received his second yellow card late in the match. With this defeat, Croatia remain on three points, while Spain leads the group with a perfect 12 points, tied with Portugal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Nel frattempo, l&#8217;Inghilterra ha ottenuto una comoda vittoria per 3-0 contro la Cechia, consolidando il secondo posto nel girone a quota nove punti. Il vantaggio inglese \u00e8 arrivato grazie a un&#8217;autorete di Coufal al 27&#8242;, seguito dalla doppietta di Harry Kane, che ha segnato sia al 40&#8242; che al 57&#8242;. La squadra di Southgate ha dominato la partita senza lasciare spazio agli avversari, e la Cechia resta ferma a zero punti.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read also<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/roberto-mancini-ricorda-gianluca-vialli\/\">Roberto Mancini remembers Gianluca Vialli at the Vialli Award in Rimini.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/neymar-omaggia-messi-ultimo-match\/\">Neymar pays homage to Messi in his final match with the Argentina national team.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/pio-esposito-ringrazia-mancini-celebra\/\">Pio Esposito thanks Mancini and celebrates the Vialli Award with pride<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Merino segna una doppietta e la Spagna vince 2-1 contro la Croazia a Spalato, mentre l&#8217;Inghilterra batte 3-0 la Cechia nella Nations League.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":124520,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"sb_editor_width":"","h5ap_radio_sources":[],"footnotes":"","_ppma_block_editor_authors":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[85,1404,1517,4617,838,134],"ppma_author":[30],"class_list":["post-125161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-calcio","tag-calcio","tag-croazia","tag-inghilterra","tag-merino","tag-nations-league","tag-spagna"],"relative_dates":{"created":"2 weeks ago","modified":"2 weeks ago"},"authors":[{"term_id":30,"user_id":1,"is_guest":0,"slug":"paolopicone","display_name":"Redazione Centrale","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/54de8379a15a6539d41f5cd43c1b6fc220d10161ae5fefcd739b4111632a6a1a?s=96&d=mm&r=g","first_name":"Redazione","last_name":"Centrale","user_url":"https:\/\/primasport.eu","author_category":"0","description":""}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125161"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125161\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":125166,"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125161\/revisions\/125166"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/124520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125161"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primasport.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=125161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
