Tin Jedvaj in World Cup semi-finals with Croatia

Tin Jedvaj is through to the World Cup semi-finals with Croatia. Croatia beat hosts Russia 4-3 on penalties after finishing extra time level at 2-2 on Saturday night. As in the Round of 16 win on penalties against Denmark, Jedvaj was again on the bench against Russia and did not come on. Croatia face England in the last four on Wednesday.

Russia took the lead in Sochi with a wonder goal from Denis Cheryshev on 31 minutes. Croatia were back on level terms eight minutes later with a header from Hoffenheim's Andrej Kramaric. The match remained evenly balanced in the second half although Croatia clearly had the upper hand in the closing stages. The former Bayer 04 pro Domagoj Vida restored the lead for Croatia in extra time with a well-placed header on 101 minutes. But Russia refused to give up and Mario Fernandes converted a free kick with a header with five minutes to play. Time for another penalty shootout. Ivan Rakitic netted the winning penalty for Croatia who now meet England in Wednesday's semi-final in Moscow.

The Bayer 04 U19 team lost 1-0 to Inter Milan on the sixth and final matchday in the league phase of the UEFA Youth League 2024/25. The only goal of the game was scored just after the hour mark. While the side from North Italy have finished top in the league phase with a maximum points return, the Leverkusen team appeared to have just missed out on the knockout stages of the European competition. There is faint hope looking to several games to follow where results are needed to go the way of the Werkself.
