TEMPERS FLARE
69' FREEKICK TO CROATIA after Vlasic goes to ground from a Robertson challenge. They exchange a few words.
CROATIA LEAD
62' GOOOOOOOOALLLL! MODRIC WITH ONE OF THE BEST GOALS OF THE TOURNAMENT SO FAR. They say that the best deliver when most needed. Wow. From a Croat corner, the ball is rolled to Modric outside the box. Luka Modric hands Croats the lead with moment of genuine world-class quality. What a finish from the outside of his right boot, curling the box from wide and into the net.
OH MCGINNNN
59' MCGINNNN AND MISSES! OH, BOY! HOW DID HE MISS? They advance down the left and Armstrong puts in a lovely delivery early to far post. Incoming McGinn looks to go with the outside of his left boot instead of trusting his preferred right foot. How costly will this prove?

CORNER FOR CROATIA

Croatia vs Scotland
50' CLOSE BUT HURT! Gvardiol finds himself one-on-one with Scotland goalkeeper D. Marshall, who comes off his line to make the save, after released by Brozovic. Because of the poor first touch, Gvardiol is second best and in a desperate attempt to get contact, he collides with Marshall. Both okay now.
Pressure
49' Excellent pressure from McGinn, forcing an error to win the ball back again. But most of it is in the middle third so far.
SECOND HALF BEGINS
45+1' Croatia set the ball rolling once again. 45 minutes of raw emotion. No HT changes on either ends. Who will it be?
HALFTIME IN HAMPDEN!

SO LOUD!
Hampden has erupted. Coming to the goal, Roberston's cross is mishandled by Adams but the ball is half cleared to McGregor, at the edge of the box. He takes a great first touch before rifling the ball into the back of the net. WOW
EQUALIZER!!
42' GOOOOOAOLLLLLL!!! MCGREGOR SCORES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL AND WHAT A TIME TO SCORE! First goal in this tournament and first in over 23 years. Wow.
DANGEROUS`
40' Perisic cuts in from the right, onto his right foot and goes for the post. But the ball sails well over the goal.

INTENSE!
25' OH WHAT A PASSAGE OF PLAY! It had everything. WOW! Scotland respond and almost equalise. Armstrong lobs the ball to the far post from the right and McGinn heads the ball across goal. Neither Dykes or Adams can get there.
Then, Robertson wins it back as Modric, of all people, lose possession. McGinn from 12 yards out, fails to beat Livakovic through a forest of bodies.
