Ivan Perišić got a rare start for Inter Milan Wednesday night in Serie A action as his 39th minute equalizer would chop the points in a 1-1 draw against Spezia. Inter Milan have a remarkable 16-match unbeaten streak and currently hold a 10-point lead on 2nd place AC Milan with only six matches remaining in the season. It looks like the scudetto will finally be leaving Juventus for Milan. Marcelo Brozović played all 90 minutes in the draw as well.
Perišić Goal
Andrej Kramarić woke up from a long slumber to score twice in Hoffenheim’s 3-2 win over Borussia Monchengladbach. Krama has been quiet the past month but needs to get that confidence going with Euro 2021 less than two months away. Helping his side come back from a 2-0 1st half deficit will certainly do that. Krama banged one off the post right after the restart and bagged the winner in the 65th minute with a sharp shot on the run from the middle of the box. Hoffenheim will finish mid-table this season but these three points will shed any kind of relegation worry.
Kramarić Goals
As soon as anyone from CroatianSports talks bad about Brekalo, he does something immediately after. Both Josip Brekalo and Marin Pongračić got starts for Wolfsburg in a 3-1 victory over Stuttgart. Brekalo had two key assists inside the box which made life easy for his Wolfsburg teammates. With the win, Wolfsburg are five points clear for a Champions League with only four matches remaining in the season.
Brekalo w/ 2 Assists
Kramarić and Brekalo both thrive in open play. No doubt about it. The question is whether either of them can outmaneuver a bunker defense or a hyper-physical-style match like those we usually see in international play. Either way, those performances are encouraging.
Breaking Brekalo
Perisic trapped the ball off a deflection with his own pair of balls before tapping it in – that’s why he was hurt.
Years of playing bocce paid off there.
Not a rare start for Perišić, he had been regularly starting until the injury caused him to miss 2 weeks of April and he’s getting back into form from it
Good stuff from the boys. The Konjuh comeback train continues to gain steam too, she’s into the quarters at Istanbul now.
