Sunday's World Cup final between France and Croatia provided plenty of drama in the first half alone, with a VAR penalty compounding things 10 minutes before the break.

There has already been plenty of action as Mario Mandzukic scored the first own goal in a World Cup final to hand France the lead, before Ivan Perisic hammered his side level from the edge of the box.

With 34 minutes gone, Antoine Griezmann's corner from the right was deflected behind by Perisic after both Blaise Matuidi and Marcelo Brozovic failed to make contact with it at the near post.
