  • 10' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 15' - The travelling Croatia supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' - Lionel Messi has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 20 appearances with only 12 goals this season.
