England Reach Nations League Finals After Dramatic Victory Over Croatia
England Come from Behind to Secure Spot in Final
England have booked their place in the final of the inaugural Nations League after a thrilling 2-1 victory over Croatia at Wembley Stadium. The Three Lions fell behind early in the second half to a goal from Andrej Kramaric, but they rallied to score twice in the final 10 minutes through Marcus Rashford and Harry Kane. The victory means England will face either the Netherlands or Portugal in the final in Porto on June 9th.
England Show Character to Overcome Deficit
England started the match brightly and had the better of the early chances, but they were unable to make the breakthrough. Croatia grew into the game as the half wore on, and they took the lead just after the hour mark when Kramaric finished off a fine team move. England responded well to going behind, and they began to create more chances. Rashford equalized with a fine strike from outside the area, and Kane then headed home the winner from a corner in the 85th minute.
The victory was a deserved one for England, who showed great character to come from behind and win the game. England will now be looking to win the Nations League in their first attempt, which would be a major achievement for the team.
