Croatia qualifier abandoned after heavy rain

Zagreb (AFP) – Croatia’s 2018 World Cup qualifier against Kosovo was abandoned midway through the first half in Zagreb on Saturday because of a waterlogged pitch. The game was level at 0-0 when the players went off and will be replayed on Sunday. “The #WCQ match between Croatia and Kosovo has been abandoned due to adverse weather conditions and postponed for Sunday 3 September,” FIFA said on Twitter. The abandonment means that Croatia, temporarily at least, lose top spot in Group I of European qualifying. Ukraine jumped up from fourth to first thanks to a 2-0 home win over Turkey
