CROATIA have failed to inspire after being held to a draw by Armenia in a Euro 2020 warm-up.
Ivan Perisic headed England’s Euro 2020 opponents ahead in a low key first half in Velika Gorica.
But Luka Modric was substituted at half time and since then the Croats were unable to gain a grip on the game.
And a brilliant strike from Wbeymar Angulo ensured honours were even at the final whistle.
THAT’S ALL FOR TONIGHT!!
Croatia were held to a 1-1 draw by Armenia at Stadion Radnik.
Iavn Perisic gave the home side the lead in the first half after he headed in from a Luke Modric corner.
Armenia drew level after Wbeymar Angulo flashed a wonder strike past Dominik Livakovic in the 72nd minute.
Both sides threatened to win it but ended up settling for a draw.
