The hosts reduced the deficit in the 28th minute through Paulius Osauskas, but Josip Jurlina made the final 3-1 in the 33rd minute after an excellent penetration on the left side.

Croatia thus continued its winning streak after celebrating against Germany (3-2) at the opening of the qualifiers. With a maximum of six points, it currently holds the first place in Group 3. The winner of the group will directly qualify for the Elite Round, where they will fight to go to the World Championship.

Croatia’s next match is on December 9, when they will again host Lithuania in Osijek, while the qualifiers will conclude with a visit to Germany on March 3, 2027.
