Group E is far from settled. All teams except Azerbaijan have the chance to take one of two direct places to the European Championships. In Cardiff there was a fight every millimeter from kick off.

The Manchester United player was knocked out

Domagoj Vida weighed most heavily in an aerial duel with Daniel James. The 21-year-old Manchester United player was left lying in the grass and looked unconscious by the TV pictures. However, after a few minutes he could continue to play.

Ethan Ampadu also found it difficult to rise after clashing with Bruno Petkovic in the beginning of the second half. The Croat was warned, just like Vida in the previous situation.

The Chelsea Amite field got off at break

By then the Croats had already been forced to their first prey already at break. Mateo Kovacic was unable to continue playing after Ben Davies ran into him from the side. While Kovacic was writhing in pain, Gareth Bale also took the opportunity to make it 1-1. It is no exaggeration to say that the Croats were not satisfied with the judge Björn Kuipers.

Real duo damaged in the end

In the final minutes, Luka Modric went so hard for a bet that he was rewarded with a yellow card, but also did badly and had to be helped by the pitch. At the same time, his club mate Gareth Bale was seen limping.

1-1 was also the final result. Nikola Vlasic scored the World Cup silver medalist goals after just nine minutes. Croatia tops the group by 14 points ahead of Hungary (12), Slovakia (10) and Wales (8).
