Wales lose Euro 2020 qualifier in Croatia

Wales paid the price for some poor defending in Croatia as they suffered the first defeat of their Group E Euro 2020 qualifying campaign.

Croatia took an early lead when Jamie Lawrence turned Ivan Perisic’s driven cross into his own net.

The World Cup finalists made it 2-0 after the break when Wales failed to clear and Perisic smashed home.

Substitute David Brooks pulled a goal back with 13 minutes to go but Wales could not force an equaliser.
