Watch: Spain's Asensio uncorks pair of wicked strikes vs. Croatia
Marco Asensio came to play against Croatia.
With Spain already leading Tuesday's Nations League contest 1-0 thanks to a header from Saul Niguez, the Real Madrid winger belted in a second for La Furia Roja against the World Cup runner-up, capitalizing on an errant pass outside the box and firing an unstoppable effort past Lovre Kalinic in goal.
Asensio double la mise d'une frappe superbe face à la Croatie !

Though he won't get credit for Spain's third, which will go down as an own goal by Kalinic, his venomous left-footed strike off the bar served as the catalyst for the Croatian goalkeeper's misfortune just minutes later.
Suite à cette frappe d'Asensio, Kalinic dévie dans son propre but. Les Espagnols mènent 3 à 0 face aux vice-champions du monde !
