Perhaps no surprise that Croatia are on the scoresheet. They've scored in each of their last ten World Cup games. The last team to keep them quiet was Japan way back in 2006.
From England
Trippier opens scoring with free kick after five minutes.
From Croatia-
Perisic levels from close range after Vrsaljko cross.
They didn't have too many clear-cut opportunities in the first half but Vatreni have carved some fantastic chances in the last 20 minutes of this second period. Some excellent football by Croatia.
What a dramatic move now we are in THE REFEREE SIGNALS THE START OF THE FIRST PERIOD OF EXTRA TIME.
Half minute more play and enjoyment and tension.
Another 15 minutes gone with no result-
RUSSIA-CROATIA
1-1
In last 15 minutes we get 1 goal from Croatia.
History in the making?! Mario Mandzukic reacts quickest to a flick on and he slams beyond Jordan Pickford nervelessly. A nation erupts.
Red and white dream land
