GOOOOOAL! Rakitic sends Schmeichel in the wrong direction and Croatia is over! Denmark 2-3 Croatia on the penalties!
SAVE! Subasic with another stop! Substitute Jorgensen can not convert after a stutter race. Croatia will qualify if Rakitic can convert his … Denmark 2-2 Croatia.
SAVE! Pivaric misses! Schmeichel keeps Denmark with a good stop. Bad penalty and bad preparation. Never looked confident.
SAVE! Subasic saves! Denmark 2-2 Croatia.
GOAL! Modric goes straight into the middle and finally scores against Schmeichel. Denmark 2-2 Croatia.
GOAL! Michael Krohn-Dehli sends Subasic the wrong way. Denmark 2-1 Croatia.

SAVE! Subosic saves, kicking Eriksen at the post. Denmark 0-0 Croatia.
Christian Eriksen accelerates for Denmark taking the first kick. Subosic takes its place in the goal …
SEVERAL! And we go to penalties!
There will be a minute of additional time. This is surely an advantage for Denmark if it goes to penalties. Will Modric take one after his death?
SAVED! SCHMEICHEL SAVES! Croatia is refused! Missed at Modric! Unreal scenes!
PENALTY! Croatia with a late chance of winning this place! Modric mounts …
Beautiful bullet slung from Modric in Badelj's path outside the penalty area, but his first touch is not good. He finally slips and Denmark clears his lines.
Substitution: Change for Croatia, their fourth and last sub. Mandzukic is closed, replaced by Badelj.
Chance! Sisto finally brings quality in the game! He picks up the ball on the left of the playing area, turns beautifully and pulls for the bottom corner, but that's just far away from the far post
Substitution: The Fourth Change from Denmark sees Sisto for Braithwaite.
Back in progress! Will we be punished?
It's the half-time overtime. Schmeichel is rallying Danish players around him, not knowing whether he encourages them to continue or win.
Croatia is really static, and despite its moving in the holes, Modric is not found. Mandzukic is standing in front.
Kramaric then works hard on the left, and gains a corner from a cross loop deflected.
Jorgensen holds him very well for Schone, and his touch removes him from Kovacic. He is going to look for the lower left corner at 25 meters, but he is just wide
Substitution: Third for Croatia, Kramaric is registered for Perisic.
A few leaders for Denmark on the edge of the area on both flanks with Eriksen and Knudsen, but there is a real lack of calm in the last third!
Eriksen will take a corner, but Lovren is ahead of Subasic.
Knudsen's two long throws, but again, they are both very poor and pose no danger. It also takes him about a minute to take it.
ADDITIONAL TIME: After a short break, we are back for the first half of the additional time
FULL TIME: And that's it! After an incredible opening of five minutes, both teams failed to score again and we will spend extra time for the second time today. Croatia 1-1 Denmark.
There will be three minutes of additional time
Kovacic beautifully defeats the line and wins a throw. Perisic then goes deep, Rebic collects and crosses, but it's just behind Rakitic inside the surface before Pivaric's effort deviates!
Substitution: Second Croatian change. Strinic is gone, Pivaric replaces him at the back.
Vrsaljko has two bites at the reception of a good center. The second is sad, but he falls on Modric on the edge, only to see his weak effort deployed.
Chance! Kjaer 's beautiful ball on the outside finds Poulsen. His touch is brilliant, he places for sub Jorgensen, but his turn and his shot is held by Subasic! Should have done better.
Substitution: Jorgensen will take the place of Denmark to replace Cornelius for the last half hour.
Superb work by Delaney, who drove 60 yards in Croatia, but Braithwaite's touch in the surface goes awry and kicks a goal.
First sign of an attack of Croatia this half. Rakitic extends it nicely to Perisic, but his right-foot center is too far in front of everyone and offside for a goal kick.
Poulsen is doing really well on the right again to find a penis and a crossbar. Vida fails to clear it correctly, Braithwaite takes the lead and seems to want to shoot, but slice it well!
The Danish side are significantly higher on the field now, and this has changed the game tone slightly. Perisic must now go further.
Poulsen does really well and finds Knudsen on the left flank. He raises it in the surface, it looks dangerous, but Subasic is well below!
Substitution: Denmark makes a half-time change. Chelsea man Christensen left with Schone to come.
SECOND HALF: We are back!
HALF-TIME! After a whirlwind of five minutes, the score remains 1-1 at the start of the break. This is the game of anybody, go nowhere!
There will be just a minute of extra time. Meanwhile, Mario Mandzukic is downstairs and is receiving treatment.
Five minutes of normal time remaining in this first half. Eriksen goes for the speculative effort from outside the area and his looping effort only makes up for the crossbar.
Chance! Free-kick for Croatia in a good crossing position on the left, won by Rebic. Modric takes, nice delivery for Lovren to watch, but it's just wide! Great invitation for the man from Liverpool!
Cornelius takes a long punt on Schmeichel, sits down well for Eriksen, but his left-foot volley runs wide. Did not catch that at all.
Two deliveries from Eriksen, one of a corner, but Croatia takes care of them twice. Same flow to this game at the present time, but you would still want to Croatia.
Rebic keeps him alive on the left, reduced for Perisic, who hashed his first effort but has a second mouthful. He then slammed it over the bar while Denmark went out to close it! Mayhem.
Save! Croatia wins the ball at the top of the field, and Rakitic is encouraged to shoot at 20 meters. He does, Schmeichel has to beat him, but the danger has not pbaded.
Save! Beautiful movement involving Eriksen, Cornelius and Braithwaite. He arrives at Braithwaite at an angle on the right of the surface, and his low effort on the surface is saved by Subasic!
Corner in Denmark after they have rejected an opportunity to break. Eriksen takes a short time, Christensen finally tries to cross, but he is blocked by Rakitic. Such a waste.
Rakitic sticks the ball to Mandzukic, Dalsgaard is wrong! He falls but the waves of ref play! VAR takes a look and agrees with the referee.
Croatia is really at the top here. They are wreaking havoc on the right side, and Denmark needs a quick sort.
Perisic stands up, but he can not get close to the wall for a turn! Brave Delaney, and a corner to Croatia
Croatia moves the ball very quickly, and she wins a free kick on the edge when Zanka clumsily takes Rebic. Shot opportunity for Perisic or Rakitic.
Looking again at the equalizer, Zanka, the scorer, has to go out faster to close Vrsaljko on the right before crossing. The game seems to be settling now.
Croatia was only behind for 1 minute and 52 seconds! What. At the beginning.
GOAL! Mandzukic puts Croatia on a level! Vrsaljko sinks to the right, his low shot full of hope in the area is half cleared by Kjaer. He ricochets off Christensen's head, and falls perfectly into Mandzukic's path! He brings him home for 1-1!
The official time of this goal was 58 seconds.
GOAL! Croatia can not cope with a pitch in the mixer on the right. Delaney does well to win the ball, and Huddersfield defender Zanka has a shot on goal. Subasic's unconvincing dive deflects the ball into the net. What a start!
KICK OFF! We are on the way!
Both teams head for the field. The kickoff will follow the national anthems.
