- 34' Czechia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 37' A stunning finish from Ivan Perisic — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 42' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for David Lafata suffering a number of foals already.
- 47' A quiet spell here at . Croatia seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.

- 72' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Tomas Sivok.
- 74' Controversy at the stadium! Marcelo Brozovic argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 76' Magnificent from Milan Skoda! That is 4 goals in 166 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 81' Croatia fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
