Croatia U21 vs Greece U21

Croatia U21 and Greece U21 played out a competitive 1-1 draw in their friendly on May 30, with both goals arriving in a breathless three-minute exchange that made the first half well worth the watch. Stavros Pnevmonidis put Greece U21 ahead in the 36th minute, giving the visitors a deserved lead against the Croatian hosts. But Croatia U21 refused to stay down — Bartol Kardum restored parity just three minutes later in the 39th, turning the game level before the break.
