Mario Pašalić‘s Croatia booked a place in the Round of 16 of the World Cup currently taking place in Qatar. SuperMario was subbed on in the 64th minute of the match against Belgium, which was crucial for the qualification and ended in a goalless tie. Croatia will take on the team topping Group E.
The first Atalanta players who qualified for the knockout stage were Dutchmen Marten de Roon and Teun Koopmeiners after defeating Qatar on Wednesday 29 November. The Netherlands are to play the United States of America on Saturday 3 December at 16:00 CET in the last 16 one-off match.
Alas, the run of Joakim Mæhle’s Denmark in the World Cup ended at the group stage.
