Yamal opened the scoring inside two minutes, beating Dominik Livakovic after Ferm\u00edn Lopez's clever flick. Croatia levelled when Dion Beljo, making just his third senior appearance, headed in from Ivan Perisic's cross for his first international goal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Spain needed barely two minutes to respond, Marc Pubill nodding in from Yamal's superb delivery. Yamal then added his second, meeting Pedri's through ball and finishing at the near post. Nico Williams sealed victory in the 89th minute, twisting free inside the area before rifling home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The visitors got the breakthrough barely a minute into the second period with Gordon nodding into the bottom corner from a delicious Trent Alexander-Arnold cross, and Thomas Tuchel's side sealed the victory thanks to a piece of quick thinking from the visiting skipper to sweep home a loose ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n
