However, it was the Croatians, who lacked heavy stars in the form of Ivan Rakitic and Luka Modric, who took the lead at the Stade de France in Paris.

Dejan Lovren sent in 1-0 after 17 minutes, but the French turned.

Antoine Griezmann - penalty shooter in the 1-0 victory against Sweden on Saturday - equalized for the Blues before an own goal by Dominik Livakovic gave the home team the lead with 2-1.

Josip Brekalo trampled in 2-2 for the Croatians in the second half, but with just over an hour played, the lead was again in the possession of the French.

Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano nodded in 3-2 before Olivier Giroud determined the final score from the penalty spot.

Thus, France are spotless leaders of group 3 in the A-division.

Kane burned

Group 2 in the A-division was also in play on Tuesday night.

Denmark barely got a point in the match against England after a dramatic end.

In the 93rd minute of the match, England's striker Harry Kane caught up with an outspoken Kasper Schmeichel on a high ball.

The Danish goalkeeper came on as a middleman and Kane shot the ball towards the goal, but at the last minute the defender Mathias Jørgensen cleared the goal line and the match ended 0-0.

- It became a communication error.

You know that Kane is not trying to record a post there, so I knew I had to defend the goal line and luckily I reached the ball, says Jørgensen to Kanal 5 according to Bold.

Misery for Hamrén

In the second match in group 2, it was Iceland who took the lead against Belgium early with a deadly goal, but was quickly put in place by the Belgian star gang.

Axel Witsel, Dries Mertens, Jeremy Doku and Michy Batshuayi twice - they were the goal scorers for Belgium in the 5-1 win at home in Brussels.

Erik Hamrén, the national team captain for Iceland, has thus had a tough start to the Nations League with zero points.

Belgium leads the group with six points and England is second with four points.
