Modric and Perisic rue another poor Croatia performance

Glasgow: Croatia captain Luka Modric and forward Ivan Perisic were disappointed after a 1-1 draw with the Czech Republic on Friday left their hopes of advancing to the Euro 2020 knockout stage hanging in the balance.

The Group D game at Hampden Park put 2018 World Cup runners-up Croatia on one point from two games following their opening 1-0 defeat by England. Perisic conceded they would have to improve in their final group match against Scotland. "All the players have to give 20 or 30 percent more than they have done so far, otherwise we'll be going home after the group stage," Perisic, who netted Croatia's equaliser in the 47th minute, told the country's HRT state broadcaster.
