Lopes is back in the starting line-up for Croatia, after missing out on the team's opening game against Serbia.

The forward made his return from injury and was named as one of three substitutes in the squad that faced Denmark last night. He was also given a chance to impress, with manager Zlatko Dalic looking to give him some minutes before he returns to action.

It was a tough start for Lopes, who struggled to find his rhythm in the first half. However, he managed to turn things around in the second period and was able to score a goal in the 82nd minute. The strike gave Croatia a crucial lead, which they would eventually hold onto until the end of the game.

The performance of Lopes was well-received by fans and media alike, with many praising his efforts in front of goal. It was a much-needed boost for the team, as they had been struggling to score goals in their previous games.

Overall, it was a positive result for Croatia, and one that will be welcomed by the team and its supporters. With Lopes back in the mix, there is hope that the team can continue to perform at a high level and make a strong showing in the tournament.
