Just over a month after helping the Eagles clinch a fifth DFB Cup with a brace in the final against Bayern Munich, the fleet-footed attacker is continuing to impress in Russia. After an eye-catching display in Croatia’s Group D opener against Nigeria, Rebic followed that up with his first ever World Cup goal on Thursday. Capitalising on an error by Argentina goalkeeper Willy Caballero, the 24 year-old lifted an exquisite volley into the top corner to set his side on their way to an emphatic 3-0 win in Nizhny Novgorod.
Rönnow’s Denmark held by Australia
Denmark are also in a strong position to qualify for the knockout stages after drawing 1-1 with Australia. Goalkeeper Frederik Rönnow, who will officially join Eintracht from Bröndby next month, was an unused substitute in Samara. Despite being held to a draw by the Socceroos, the Danes need just a point from their final Group C game against France (Tuesday 26 June) to confirm their place in the last 16.
