Croatian stars shine abroad with decisive goals and assists in key league wins. Ivan Perišić, Nikola Vlašić, Josip Stanišić, and Ante Budimir delivered standout performances for their clubs.

Ivan Perišić scored the winner with a header in the 76th minute for PSV’s 2:1 victory over Utrecht, earning man-of-the-match honors after playing most of the game. Nikola Vlašić converted a penalty in the 66th minute to secure Torino’s 1:0 win at Sassuolo, marking his second consecutive match-winning goal.
Josip Stanišić opened the scoring with a header in the 15th minute and assisted the third goal in Bayern Munich’s dominant 4:0 away win at Heidenheim. Ante Budimir netted twice for Osasuna—a stylish volley in the 72nd minute and a penalty shortly after—leading to a 3:0 home triumph over Alaves, bringing his La Liga tally to six goals this season.
These contributions boost the players’ form ahead of Croatia’s World Cup qualifiers, where the team leads their group with 22 points from eight matches.
