Rakitic helps Croatia back on track

Croatia got their 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign back on track as they defeated Andorra 4-0 in Group 6. Having been held to a goalless draw with progression rivals Ukraine on Saturday, Slaven Bilic's side knew that nothing less than three points would suffice at Stadion Maksimir. And the winning mentality was evident from the start as Schalke midfielder Ivan Rakitic netted after 17 minutes and Ivica Olic added a second from the penalty spot shortly after the half-hour mark. After the interval, Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric netted Croatia's third with 15 minutes remaining and there was still time for Rakitic (86) to double his personal tally in the closing stages.
