    ONE more minute!
  • 116'
    It's a poor one from Modric against maybe the best keeper in the world from 12 yards! Dad Peter in the stands is ecstatic!

  • 116'
    Saved!
  • 114'
    Penalty to Croatia! Rebic is taken down by the last man, it's only a booking though!

Substitution

at Croacia
  • 108'
    Mandzukic off.
  • 108'
    Straight into the action for Sisto as he tries to curl one from the left. It beats Subasic but also the far post.
  • 106'
    We're off again and Braithwaite has come off for Sisto.
  • 105'
    The end of the first half of extra time... 15 minutes to go or it's penalties!
  • 104'
    Schmeichel is forced into a save under his cross bar after a Kramaric cross deflects high.
  • 102'
    The clock has ticked into triple figures, and who doesn't love that? Speaks volumes about what is happening on the pitch that we're noticing though.

Substitution

at Croacia
  • 97'
    Kramaric on for Perisic.
  • 95'
    Corner to Denmark after Croatia just clear some good running down the flanks.
  • 93'
    Interestingly, this is the first time either side has every played extra time in the World Cup.
  • 91'
    And we go again. 15 minutes more!

End of match

  • 90'
    And that is it! We will go for an extra thirty minutes!

  • 90'
    Rakitic sends one just wide.
  • 90'
    Croatia clear a succession of long throws from Denmark and there will be three minutes added on.
  • 86'
    Corner for Croatia following a good run from Rebic. Nothing from it.
  • 85'
    Perisic sends a header just over. Kovacic is back on.
  • 83'
    Kovacic is down in some pain here and it looks painful on his knee as he gets caught between two Danes.
  • 78'
    A shot from Rebic is easily held by Schmeichel.
  • 72'
    Denmark beginning to come into this! Jorgensen gets some space in the box but his shot is straight at Subasic.
  • 65'
    Croatia put a couple of aerial balls into the box but Schmeichel deals with the latter with a massive punch.
  • 62'
    Both sides labouring a lot more now... Lucky we got those two early goals!
  • 56'
    Denmark get the ball in the box but it's a woeful finish from Braithwaite.
  • 49'
    More relaxed start to the half so far... Croatia pushing forward, but the Denmark defence is up to the task.
  • 46'
    And we are back underway!
  • 45'
    And that is half time! The opening four minutes were blinding... The following 41 not so much!

  • 44'
    The ball runs to Rakitic on the edge of the box but his effort barely troubles Schmeichel.
  • 39'
    So close! Lovren whistles a header inches wide of the post!
  • 37'
    A few niggly fouls appearing in the midfield now. Much more how we expected this game to go.
  • 34'
    Croatia come again but a foul is given. Schmeichel takes his time over it.
  • 29'
    Schmeichel pulls off two good saves down the other end now before Perisic fires over! End to end.
  • 27'
    Braithwaite brings a good save from Subasic as Denmark threaten again.
  • 21'
    Eriksen picks up the ball and hits one but he is well closed down and it's a corner.
  • 20'
    Penalty appeals by Mandzukic turned down. It looks as if he made a lot of it.
  • 16'
    Both teams a bit more settled now and we might get a game of football rather than the 22-22 goal fest that was being threatened in the opening four minutes.
  • 12'
    He leaves it to Perisic who sends it off the wall for a corner.
  • 12'
    Dangerous free kick for Croatia... Rakitic over it.
  • 7'
    The World Cup that keeps on giving.

Goaaaaaal!

  • 4'
    GOAL! Croatia are level! That didn't take long! Mandzukic with it, capitalising on an unfortunate defensive clearance.
Goaaaaaal!

    GOAL! Denmark take the lead inside a minute! Jorgensen with it after an almighty scramble!
  • 1'
    And off we go!

Start of match

    The teams are on the pitch and the Croatian national anthem is ringing around the stadium! We're not far away here.
  • PRVW
    And here is the picture from FIFA making it official:

    And the teams are in...
  • PRVW
    After Spain's shock exit on what was an already 'easy' side of the draw, the winner of this game will have a very good chance of advancing deep into the tournament - Russia will be next up!
