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.

History in the making?! Mario Mandzukic reacts quickest to a flick on and he slams beyond Jordan Pickford nervelessly. A nation erupts.
