Portugal's Home Unbeaten Streak Continues in Croatia Win
Jota's Goal Seals Victory
In a match marred by a lackluster performance, Portugal scraped a 1-0 win over Croatia in Porto on Saturday, extending their unbeaten home run to 17 matches. Diogo Jota's clinical finish from close range proved the match-winner in a game where Portugal failed to impress despite securing victory.
UEFA Nations League Implications
The result is a blow to Portugal's Euro 2024 preparations, as they suffered a disappointing defeat to Croatia. Despite controlling possession for much of the game, Portugal struggled to create clear-cut chances and were punished for their complacency when Croatia found a way to win in the second half.
Portugal will begin their Euro 2024 Group F campaign against Czechia on June 18. They will need to improve their performance if they are to mount an effective challenge for the title.
