Croatia impressed in the group match and continued to the eighth final as a group winner after three straight victories against Nigeria, Argentina and Iceland, while Denmark has caught the group match against France. Despite this, Denmark started the eighth final of the night.
Denmark tore up the game at the first minute as Mathias Zanka Jörgensen sent the ball into the net after a long shot from the right. Croatia goalkeeper Danijel Subasic was blocked by several defenders and released the ball directly into the goal.
Four minutes later, he was like himself again. After much calabalism in Denmark's penalty area, Henrik Dalsgaard passed the ball directly into Anders Christensen's face, Mario Mandzukic recovered the ball and scored at 1-1.
– They (Croatia) scored well in the first half, but I think we were the best football team. It may be wrong, but I feel it now, the Danish carpet Simon Kjaer tells the DR1 Danish after the match.
Subsequently, a calm has spread over the plane. Croatia and Denmark were lucky to go ahead, but they never approached another goal. It's only at the end of the second half that Croatia has beaten with a little pressure against the goal of Denmark. Croatia threatened to score after 84 minutes, with Perisic hitting a goal, while Rakitic shot near the goal in overtime. After another three minutes, the game finally went to an extension.
Croatia claimed a goal of the win and was inflicted a penalty in the 114th minute. Ante Rebic managed a pass in the depths, deviated from Kasper Schmeichel and was then beaten by Jörgensen in the penalty area. From time to time, Croatia seemed ready for the quarter-finals, while Jörgensen seemed deported.
Jörgensen only received the yellow card and Modric missed the penalty kick, where Schmeichel went in the right direction and fought for victory. The match went to punishment.
– It was very hot and hard to run. It was very hard for me to miss the penalty because I dropped out all morning to find out how I would do to score goals at Schmeichel, "said Luka Modric, according to the FIFA website
