Croatia delivered a routine 3-0 victory over Gibraltar in a UEFA FIFA World Cup qualification match on October 13, 2025. The win at the Stadion Poljud in Split was a comfortable evening for the 2018 World Cup finalists, who professionally dispatched their opponents to claim an expected three points. Croatia scored twice in the first half to establish control and added a third after the break. Gibraltar, as expected, defended deeply and with great effort but were simply outclassed by the technical quality and movement of the Croatian midfield and attack. This result gets Croatia's campaign off to a perfect start, boosting their goal difference in a group where such margins could prove decisive. For Gibraltar, it was another learning experience against one of Europe's elite footballing nations.
