Andrej Kramarics VAR-a sisted penalty snatched a late 1-1 draw for Croatia against France to deny Les Bleus a first win of the new Nations League campaign.Adrien Rabiots strike shortly after the break looked to have fired the visitors to victory in Group A1, in what was a rematch of the Ru sia 2018 World Cup final won by France.But the hosts were able to take a share of the spoils in Split with the aid of VAR. Referee Marco Guidas decision to award a penalty Larry Ogunjobi Jersey for Jonathan Clau s clumsy challenge on Kramaric was initially kiboshed by the linesmans flag but a review showed Luka Sucic had been onside when receiving Mislav Orsics pa s in the build-up.Kramaric duly converted with seven minutes remaining at Stadion Poljud to inject a degree of late drama into a game otherwise marked by cagey performances, particularly acro s a first half that had struggled to burst into life. Having slipped to an opening lo s in their title defence against Demark on Friday, Didier Deschamps rung the changes for this clash, with all but one face swapped out.With fearsome talents like Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema benched, though, it took until after the interval for the deadlock to be broken Odell Beckham Jr. Jersey .Seizing onto a terrific ball from Wi sam Ben Yedder, midfielder Rabiot steered a superb finish above Dominik Livakovic and into the top-left corner.That had looked to po sibly be enough for the visitors, even as Luka Modric on his 150th appearance for his country had helped push for an equaliser.Kramarics late intervention, however, proved a return blow, and the two sides ultimately were forced to settle for a point.What Rashard Higgins Jersey does it mean? Croatia get helping hand to snatch drawIt is hard to argue that Zlatko Dalic s side did not deserve to take a point away from the visit of the world champions, having edged them for shots and matched them for efforts on target throughout.But against a France side mi sing several first-choice starters as Les Bleus experiment with their impre sive depth ahead of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, they may be wary of the fact they needed a penalty in order to save face.Still, it marked a drastic improvement from their own opening Nations League defeat to Austria last week, and gets them off the mark.Modric muted in landmark matchThe Real Madrid star has long since overtaken Darijo Srna as his countrys most-capped mens international footballer and it seems unlikely few will get near his century-and-a-half of caps in the coming years.But with just one key pa s and Ray-Ray Armstrong Jersey a single shot albeit a particularly silky one to his name, it marked a quiet game on the whole for the veteran playmaker.Les Bleus still winle s in title defenceIt is just one point from their opening two Nations League games for France so Kendall Lamm Jersey far, in what could be a worry for their World Cup prospects at the end of the year.But Deschamps has now auditioned more of his squad in an effective dre s rehearsal for selection now and with still just a single lo s since they were eliminated from Euro 2020, the warning signs will not need to flash just yet.Whats next?Croatia take to the road to face Denmark in Copenhagen on June 10 while France travel to face Austria in Vienna on the same day.
