Croatia Locks Up World Cup Berth After Overcoming Early Faroese Strike

By IANS News November 15, 2025 • 10:07 AM View: 190

Croatia secured its place at the 2026 World Cup with a 3-1 victory over the Faroe Islands, overcoming an early setback to end the visitor's slim qualifying hopes in the ninth round of World Cup qualifiers on Friday.

The host was caught off guard when Geza David Turi capitalized on a break in midfield, sending a driven, low shot that deflected past Croatia's goalkeeper at the near post, providing the Faroe Islands with a surprising early lead and temporarily shifting the atmosphere at Stadion Rujevica, reports Xinhua.
