Croatia qualifies for FIFA World Cup

Croatia completed a 3-1 comeback win over the Faroe Islands at home on Friday, securing its place at next year’s World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
With Croatia on 19 points, second-placed Czech Republic can no longer catch it in Group L, as it sits on 13 points with one match left to play against Gibraltar on Monday.
For the visitor, ranked 127th by FIFA, the campaign ends with an impressive 12 points and a genuine fight for the top two places.
The Faroe Islands stunned the crowd after 16 minutes when Geza David Turi burst forward from midfield and hit a low strike that deflected off Luka Vuskovic to give the visiting side the lead.
Seven minutes later, Croatia was level as the ball broke kindly for Josko Gvardiol in the box, who drilled a powerful strike into the bottom right corner.
Croatia went ahead in the 57th minute as an unmarked Petar Musa guided a low cross into the net. Nikola Vlasic settled the contest in the 70th minute with a composed finish.
