It was necessary to force the Croats to run at least a little without the ball, “he explained the result of the match.
The meeting took place in Split and ended with a score of 1: 0 in favor of the hosts. The only goal in the 81st minute was scored by Kudryashov. It is known that shortly before this, the footballer was injured.
