MILAN - Kovacic's Croatia coasted to a 2-0 home victory over Kuzmanovic's Serbia in a crunch World Cup qualifier in Zagreb on Friday night. Goals by Mandzukic and Olic in the opening 45 minutes were enough to keep Croatia joint top of Group A with Belgium.
Kovavic started and finished the game but there was no Nerazzurri derby because Kuzmanovic remained an unused substitute.
