Croacia 2 - 1 Noruega

Croatia came from a goal behind to defeat Norway 2-1 at home in an international friendly on Tuesday night.

Norway pushed hard in the opening minutes of the match looking to break the deadlock early and were rewarded on 21 minutes, when Mohammed Abdellaoue found the back of the net.

The home side then sparked into life and began to create chances. The match was level 15 minutes later when Wolfsburg striker Mario Mandzukic diverted a Darijo Srna long-range free-kick past the goalkeeper.

After the break, Tottenham midfielder Niko Kranjcar bagged the winning goal to complete the comeback and cap a great week for him and his country.

Kranjcar, who has struggled for first-team action at Spurs this season, scored twice at the weekend to hand Croatia a vital 2-1 Euro 2012 qualification victory away to Israel.

His exploits here ensured the good mood generated from that result will continue for a while longer in Slaven Bilic's squad.

Both Croatia and Norway, who took advantage of a free spot in their respective calendars to meet in this Zagreb friendly, are currently undefeated in their qualifying campaign so far.
