Soccer world champions France and World Cup runners-up Croatia also remained without a win on the second day of the Nations League.

In a repeat of the 2018 World Cup final, the two teams drew 1-1 (0-0) in Split.

Three days after their opening defeats - France 1:2 against Denmark and Croatia 0:3 against Austria - again no team was able to convince in the average game with few chances.

France's lead by Adrien Rabiot from Juventus Turin (52') was equalized by Hoffenheim's Andrej Kramarić with a penalty kick (83').

Luka Modric from Champions League winners Real Madrid made his 150th cap for Croatia.

All 55 Uefa members are taking part in the third edition of the Nations League.

In leagues A, B and C, 16 teams each are divided into four groups.

The four group winners of League A qualify for the Final Four, in which the title holder is determined at the end.
