Ivan Peri\u0161i\u0107 gave Croatia a deserved lead in the 17th minute, but Merino changed the contest after entering at half-time. The midfielder equalised in the 61st minute before scoring a brilliant winner in the 88th, nine minutes after Peri\u0161i\u0107 had been dismissed for a second yellow card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The victory maintained Spain\u2019s perfect record in League A Group A3, taking Luis de la Fuente\u2019s side to 12 points from four matches. It was also Spain\u2019s 11th consecutive victory and extended their overall unbeaten run to 42 matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Croatia Make a Fast Start in Split<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Croatia entered the match determined to produce a response in front of their supporters, and the hosts immediately placed Spain under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unai Sim\u00f3n made an important point-blank save to deny Josip Stani\u0161i\u0107 in the 13th minute, but the Spanish goalkeeper was beaten four minutes later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Croatia launched a quick attack, with Igor Matanovi\u0107 forcing a save from Sim\u00f3n. The goalkeeper could only parry the shot into a dangerous area, allowing the experienced Peri\u0161i\u0107 to react quickest and head the rebound into the net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The goal gave Croatia a 1-0 lead and rewarded their aggressive opening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spain controlled possession but struggled to turn their passing into clear opportunities. Pedri and Lamine Yamal were unable to influence the contest as regularly as expected, while Croatia remained compact and dangerous on the counterattack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hosts nearly doubled their advantage after a loose pass from Sim\u00f3n was intercepted, but the goalkeeper recovered to deny Matanovi\u0107. At the other end, Mikel Oyarzabal directed Spain\u2019s first shot on target straight at Dominik Livakovi\u0107 shortly before half-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yamal also found the side-netting after receiving an excellent pass from Pedri, but Croatia carried their 1-0 advantage into the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mikel Merino Changes the Match<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-33.png\")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nDe la Fuente responded to Spain\u2019s poor first-half performance by introducing Merino in place of \u00c1lex Baena at half-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The substitution proved decisive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Merino gave Spain an additional physical presence around the penalty area and created space for Dani Olmo to operate from the left. Although Croatia initially continued to defend effectively, Spain gradually increased the tempo and forced the hosts deeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The breakthrough arrived in the 61st minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Olmo recovered a loose ball inside the Croatian penalty area and found Merino in space. The midfielder remained composed, directing a controlled left-footed finish into the bottom corner beyond Livakovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Merino\u2019s equaliser completely changed the momentum of the game. Spain began to move the ball with greater speed, while Croatia found it increasingly difficult to escape their own half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peri\u0161i\u0107 Sent Off After Scoring Croatia\u2019s Goal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Croatia still carried a threat on the counterattack and nearly regained the lead following a mistake from substitute Martin Zubimendi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peri\u0161i\u0107 collected the loose ball and fired towards goal, but Sim\u00f3n reacted quickly to make another important save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moments later, the Croatian goalscorer\u2019s night took a dramatic turn. Already on a yellow card, Peri\u0161i\u0107 brought down Marc Cucurella from behind and received his second booking in the 79th minute. The decision left Croatia with 10 players for the closing stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spain immediately increased the pressure, moving the ball from side to side while searching for an opening in Croatia\u2019s increasingly crowded defensive area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Merino Scores a Brilliant Late Winner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/gh\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-34.png\")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nWith two minutes of normal time remaining, Merino appeared again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zubimendi delivered a precise ball into the penalty area, where Merino produced a sharp first touch to turn away from his marker. He then powered a left-footed shot into the top corner to complete Spain\u2019s comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The quality of the control and finish demonstrated why Merino has become one of De la Fuente\u2019s most reliable attacking options, even when he does not start matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His two goals transformed a difficult away night into another memorable victory for La Roja. Merino has now scored six times as a substitute for Spain since the beginning of 2025, underlining his ability to influence matches from the bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Croatia vs Spain Match Statistics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Spain\u2019s control of possession became increasingly clear as the match progressed. UEFA\u2019s match statistics recorded 69% possession for Spain, alongside 694 completed passes and six corners. Croatia finished with 31% possession, 243 completed passes and three corners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Croatia remained dangerous when they attacked, recording five shots on target compared with Spain\u2019s three. Sim\u00f3n\u2019s four saves were therefore crucial to the final result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Final score:<\/strong> Croatia 1-2 Spain
Goals:<\/strong> Peri\u0161i\u0107 17\u2019; Merino 61\u2019, 88\u2019

Player of the Match:<\/strong> Mikel Merino<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpain\u2019s Bench Strength Sends a Warning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Spain were not at their fluent best, particularly during a first half in which Yamal and Pedri found little room to express themselves. However, the result demonstrated the depth available to De la Fuente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Merino changed the game at half-time, while Zubimendi recovered from an earlier mistake to provide the pass for the winning goal. Spain\u2019s ability to introduce experienced, technically gifted players without weakening the team remains one of their greatest strengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The match also showed that Spain can win in different ways. They were required to absorb pressure, recover from a defensive setback and remain patient against an organised opponent in a difficult away environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That resilience could prove extremely valuable during the knockout stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What the Result Means for Spain and Croatia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Spain\u2019s fourth victory from four Group A3 matches officially secured their place in the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals. Their next objective will be to finish the league phase strongly and confirm the best possible position ahead of the knockout draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Croatia, the performance contained several positives despite the defeat. They unsettled Spain, created dangerous opportunities and defended effectively for long periods. However, Peri\u0161i\u0107\u2019s dismissal and their inability to control Merino ultimately proved costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spain leave Split with their winning streak intact, qualification secured and another reminder that their substitutes can be just as decisive as their starters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
