UEFA Nations League:

France drew 1-1 away to Croatia in their second Nations League game on Monday, four days after an opening defeat by Denmark.

Iran PressEurope: Didier Deschamps made ten changes from the side that threw away a lead to lose 2-1 to Denmark on Friday.

They looked on course for victory when Adrien Rabiot's cool finish from Wissam Ben Yedder's ball gave them the lead.

But Andrej Kramaric scored a fine penalty after the video assistant referee awarded him a spot-kick following a foul by Jonathan Clauss.

Denmark now tops the group on six points after winning 2-1 in Austria.

France now faces an uphill battle to reach next year's Nations League finals after throwing away two leads in five days.

The third edition of the UEFA Nations League kicked off in June 2022, and the finals are scheduled for the same month a year later.
