JOHN McGARRY AT STADION MAKSIMIR: The build up to this game was dominated by political grandstanding over the fact it was not screened live on television. It turns out those members of the Tartan Army unable to access it via online steams were not done a disservice after all. They were spared another night of suffering. Despite a performance which offered up a significant number of positives, the outcome was another crushing blow.

KEVIN MCKENNA AT MAKISMIR: Steve Clarke's men took a first-half lead courtesy of an own goal from Duje Caleta-Car, before goals from Igor Matanovic and Andrej Kramaric turned things around for the hosts.

Croatia, semi-finalists at the 2022 World Cup, looked to have secured a pulsating comeback victory after Andrej Kramaric cancelled out Qazim Laci's early opener.

But just when it looked like Albania were teetering on the verge of an early knockout, Gjasula redeemed himself five minutes inside stoppage time by tucking home. In doing so, the 34-year-old created a milestone.
