Scotland Extends Losing Streak Against Croatia

Scotland's football team faced a disappointing 2-1 defeat against Croatia in the Nations League, marking their worst losing streak in five years with four consecutive losses and nine competitive matches without a win. Ryan Christie initially gave Scotland a shock lead, but Igor Matanovic equalized just before halftime, followed by Andrej Kramaric's winning goal in the second half. The Scots, who have managed only one victory in their last 15 matches, now sit bottom of Nations League Group A1 after previous defeats to Poland and Portugal. Manager Steve Clarke, dealing with a significant injury list, expressed frustration over the team's inability to convert competitive performances into results. Heartbreak ensued when a last-minute equalizer was disallowed by VAR due to offside, further compounding Scotland's woes. Clarke remains optimistic about the team's potential but faces increasing pressure ahead of their next match against Portugal.
