Croatia 10-0 San Marino: Mandzukic, Kalinic net hat tricks

Croatia hit double figures in Saturday's friendly against San Marino, with Mario Mandzukic and Nikola Kalinic both getting a hat trick.

Mario Mandzukic and Nikola Kalinic each netted a treble as Croatia demolished San Marino 10-0 in its last friendly before its Euro 2016 opener against Turkey on June 12.

Against weak opposition, Croatia head coach Ante Cacic decided to field his strongest XI, with Luka Modric getting the nod in midfield after his Champions League success with Real Madrid, while Ivan Rakitic, Ivan Perisic and Mandzukic also featured from the start.

Croatia was on top right from the opening whistle, but needed 20 minutes to break the deadlock via Marko Pjaca.
