Croatia have beaten Argentina 3-2, coming back from behind to defeat Jose Pekerman's Albiceleste as both teams prepare for June's World Cup Final's.

The game started off with a bang, with three goals in the first six minutes.

Croatia opened the scoring with a third minute strike from striker Klasnic, but Peckerman's team immediately replied with two strikes, from Carlos Tevez just a minute later, and Barcelona wonder-kid Lionel Messi doubling the score in the sixth.

Argentina went into the break looking the better team, but the second half saw Croatia coming out with a purpose.

Srna equalised in the 59th minute to give a new freshness to Zlatko Kranjcar's team, and they took command of the game.

Marko Babic scored in injury time to give Croatia a legendary win over their World Cup opponents.
