[00:00:47]A 4-2 these days, Peter, gets a lot of criticism, but it's it's unfair. Any system can work if you've got the right players.

[00:01:03]And we're underway.

[00:01:07]Jim, who do you reckon is pivotal?

[00:01:09]Yeah, Luka Modrić. He's someone, Peter, who reads the game that little bit quicker than everyone else. He's got fantastic technique, too, and that allows him to weigh his through balls to near perfection, as well as keep hold of it when he's under pressure. He's a real leader out there, someone who can take control of the game and maintain it. And he would be the obvious choice, wouldn't he? He certainly has all the right qualities.

[00:01:41]Stanisic, who is there, and he can get that clear.

[00:01:49]Modrić did just about enough to come out on top there.

[00:01:53]Neither party overly willing to compromise.

[00:02:00]Stanisic That's really well maneuvered.

[00:02:04]Pjaca Stanisic And it's played forward.

[00:02:17]It's in.

[00:02:28]It's in.

[00:02:56]Budimir Now, what about a counter attack?

[00:03:03]Well, that's well seen to.

[00:03:06]Aim forwards.

[00:03:08]Isidore Well, now here's a good battle bicep to bicep.

[00:03:19]There's a beautiful simplicity about this contest. Willing running on one side, Docket defense on the other.

[00:03:29]Gets it away.

[00:03:32]Ball's gone out of play.

[00:03:39]He's in plenty of space here.

[00:03:42]OFF HE GOES.

[00:03:45]HE CAN GET THAT CLEAR.

[00:03:47]Time to deliver.

[00:03:49]And back out it comes.

[00:03:54]Now it's Pasalic.

[00:04:01]Well, what about this cross?

[00:04:03]It's well blocked and back out it comes.

[00:04:06]Moved on forwards.

[00:04:09]Isidore played into space.

[00:04:12]And he's there to clear it.

[00:04:17]Stanisic.

[00:04:21]Sutalo has been quite a lucky ball that.

[00:04:25]Pressing's intense and it's paid off.

[00:04:43]And it's played forward.

[00:04:47]It's a throw-in.

[00:04:59]And he's put a shade too much on that.

[00:05:04]Looks to the other side.

[00:05:07]Etienne.

[00:05:13]And he goes cross field.

[00:05:15]And it's been played through.

[00:05:18]Pjaca.

[00:05:23]And it's Sucic.

[00:05:26]Stanisic.

[00:05:28]Stanisic going full tilt down the left.

[00:05:31]Now then, the ball's come loose.

[00:05:36]There are a few waiting for it.

[00:05:41]Sucic.

[00:05:46]I'll tell you, Peter, the keeper owes him big time there. He's lucky his mate was wide awake to that.

[00:05:58]Isidore That is lovely. Can he deliver?

[00:06:17]Caresses it through.

[00:06:21]Rakitic getting this one clear.

[00:06:26]It's gone for a throw-in.

[00:06:39]Isidore Isidore!

[00:06:43]Sutalo gets Great without sophistication.

[00:06:57]Anything Jim to pick out of these early exchanges? He's had a shot!

[00:07:02]Oh, terrific save from the keeper. Well, someone's doing his job properly, Peter.

[00:07:07]That's for sure.

[00:07:24]They've played it short.

[00:07:29]Showing good feet.

[00:07:31]A chance to play it in.

[00:07:36]Well, that is good. Super running, sharp movement. Came up against a defender though who was ever so determined. I'm not sure the shot was ever on there really. There were just too many bodies in the way, Peter.

[00:07:52]Great run this. He's covered quite a distance already.

[00:07:59]Very nicely done. Hangs in a cross.

[00:08:04]Pašalić can get it clear.

[00:08:06]And reclaimed it in a trice.

[00:08:11]Flings in a cross.

[00:08:13]And that was very necessary.

[00:08:17]Now it's Modrić.

[00:08:20]Pašalić Pašalić Oh, nicely intercepted.

[00:08:33]That's a good block, but at the expense of a corner.

[00:08:41]And it's been taken short.

[00:08:43]And he has been fouled there.

[00:08:48]And he is going into that little black book.

[00:08:51]Well, the players are making their point, but the ref clearly isn't interested. He's waved them all away.

[00:09:10]Clears it away.

[00:09:16]Isidore absolutely focused then on the defensive side of his game. Yeah, listen, we often get critical of a a forward's tackle, but that was squeaky clean.

[00:09:29]Just starting to get the first signs of rain here.

[00:09:38]And it's Sucic. Sucic what's a delicate pass.

[00:09:57]Hoisted up field by the keeper.

[00:10:01]Played out to the right.

[00:10:05]Oh, that's neat.

[00:10:08]Real chance.

[00:10:11]That was no routine save. Really looks sharp there, didn't he? That's very well played.

[00:10:36]They've played it short.

[00:10:48]Forward tracking back like that always appreciated by the crowd. Well, it's not a surprise to see that these days all part of a forward's duties.

[00:11:03]Pjaca Pjaca Stanisic Tries a measured ball.

[00:11:21]It's Ian.

[00:11:25]That's really well maneuvered.

[00:11:29]Back into the middle and the flag has stayed down.

[00:11:34]Livaković sends that a long way.

[00:11:39]Moved on forwards.

[00:11:45]Well, that defending is unapologetically persistent. It's almost personal, and it had to be.

[00:11:54]Stanišić, they've been denied a chance to develop any rhythm in the passing department.

[00:12:03]>> [cheering] >> Well played. That has snuffed out the danger.

[00:12:18]Keeps on running.

[00:12:23]Cross deflected behind for a corner.

[00:12:29]They played it short.

[00:12:32]He comes flying in.

[00:12:35]And oh, he's got that completely wrong.

[00:13:18]Plenty of endeavors from either side, but not much of it in the vicinity of either goal. Yeah, the tempo is strong, and the game has flair and and of potential for me.

[00:13:29]Etienne Pasalic does really well to win the ball back.

[00:13:35]The defending albeit from an unexpected source. Ah, he's dealt with that very well, Peter. It's a a real show of discipline.

[00:13:45]Wins the jewel this time.

[00:13:51]Sutalo Modric Sucic Great defending, strong and determined.

[00:14:10]Isidore Nice touch.

[00:14:21]The movement is slick, the speed is slippery. The defense though able to hold on this time.

[00:14:37]Pjaca Stanisic Ah, lovely feed. He is such a good mover.

[00:14:47]That has found him in acres of space.

[00:14:51]Deflected behind for a corner kick.

[00:15:01]Isidore is there and he can get that clear.

[00:15:06]Isidore proving a very adept defender.

[00:15:09]>> It was a good tackle, too. Yeah, listen.

[00:15:11]We often get critical of a a forward's tackle, but that was squeaky clean.

[00:15:16]Goes for a shot.

[00:15:19]Keeper's not concerned by that. I held up that touch, Peter. I mean, that was brilliant. He got the ball to go exactly where he wanted it. The touch was perfection, the finish imperfection.

[00:15:45]Pjaca Sučić Boro, spread out to the left. Oh, read, nice interception.

[00:15:59]Half an hour played now.

[00:16:03]It's in.

[00:16:06]Aim forwards.

[00:16:07]Can he get onto this?

[00:16:11]Well, that is not the best ball. And the office had a sympathetic look. Oh, he made it look a bit predictable.

[00:16:21]Stanišić, gently done.

[00:16:25]And here's Budimir.

[00:16:27]Out to the left it goes.

[00:16:30]And it's Stanišić.

[00:16:38]And here's Budimir.

[00:16:39]>> Budimir!

[00:16:41]Oh, the keeper's done ever so well.

[00:16:44]Yeah, he was well placed to deal with that.

[00:16:48]It's in.

[00:16:53]Nice looking ball.

[00:17:00]Lovely ball. Isidor!

[00:17:12]It's in.

[00:17:14]Isidor >> A well cut out and watching for it there at all. Moved on forwards.

[00:17:26]Played with finesse.

[00:17:29]And the keeper has it.

[00:17:37]Budimir played out to the left flank.

[00:17:42]And here's Budimir over to the left.

[00:17:46]And that pass surprised everyone and not in a good way.

[00:18:04]It's all a little short of forward momentum, lacking thrust.

[00:18:19]Nil-nil, but nevertheless a very decent game.

[00:18:27]Excellent challenge there, uncompromising.

[00:18:30]Oh, he's enjoyed that. He evidently loves the contest. Well, welcome to the modern game. You get hounded as soon as you get the ball. You can't take time like that.

[00:18:43]Sučić And here's Budimir.

[00:18:51]And here's Modrić.

[00:18:54]Well, that's good defending. He squeezed the play and he gave him no chance to get on the turn.

[00:19:03]Moro shifted upfield.

[00:19:07]And he's there to get it away.

[00:19:15]>> Etienne That's really well maneuvered.

[00:19:28]Lovely bit of skill.

[00:19:31]Etienne So, who's he picking out?

[00:19:43]Great chance!

[00:19:46]He's got options in the box if he gets his head up.

[00:19:50]Sutalo gets it clear.

[00:19:53]And that's been won straight back.

[00:19:56]Etienne Isidoro Out to the left it goes.

[00:20:17]Great run on the overlap here.

[00:20:19]It's a fine run and he's happy to keep going.

[00:20:23]Oh, a chance!

[00:20:26]And that has been clubbed away.

[00:20:38]Oh, sweet feet.

[00:20:43]He's having a shot!

[00:20:46]There was plenty of power on that.

[00:21:07]And it's been taken short.

[00:21:11]So it's going to be another corner.

[00:21:22]Sutalo gets it away.

[00:21:34]Pongracic forwards on with intent.

[00:21:39]And that is out of play.

[00:21:49]Sucic Pjaca Stanisic That's very neat.

[00:22:00]Plays in a cross.

[00:22:03]That has been knocked clear.

[00:22:07]Long ball by the goalkeeper.

[00:22:18]And he's managed to get free.

[00:22:23]Pjaca Oh, well measured.

[00:22:39]Played towards the other side.

[00:22:43]And it's half time here. It hasn't been a bad watch by any means. The intensity levels are there. We've just That gets things going for the second half.

[00:22:55]Well, both sides are eager to get going.

[00:22:57]Here's hoping that it's it's a good sign things are about to change. We need a little more life in this.

[00:23:09]And the pass is intercepted.

[00:23:32]They cross field changing the point of attack.

[00:23:44]Out towards the flank.

[00:23:46]That's tidy.

[00:23:53]But it's come loose.

[00:23:55]Well, the defense just about came out on top, but they were certainly tested.

[00:24:02]Now it's Piazza.

[00:24:05]Now who's going to be first to this?

[00:24:08]Sucic spread out to the left.

[00:24:12]He is just caressing the ball.

[00:24:15]And it's Modric.

[00:24:17]GOOD CHANCE HERE.

[00:24:20]OH, DENIED BRILLIANTLY.

[00:24:22]REALLY anticipated that well, didn't he?

[00:24:26]It's in.

[00:24:33]And it's played forward.

[00:24:43]Knocks it out wide.

[00:24:48]Time for a change in personnel.

[00:25:07]>> Climbs up big.

[00:25:10]That needed to be better and he knows it. Oh, this was all about good movement in the box just to allow him to get to it.

[00:25:38]Sutalo Pasalic Stanisic Pasalic Budimir, played out wide.

[00:25:59]Boro Dukely away.

[00:26:06]Driving forward and making good progress.

[00:26:11]Etienne Pasalic Budimir And that's the end of that. It all started well enough.

[00:26:43]Looking for a decent ball in.

[00:26:46]Oh, such a clever touch. That is a brilliant interception.

[00:26:51]Pašalić Šutalo Pjaca It's run loose here.

[00:27:09]Pjaca laid out to the left flank.

[00:27:17]Ettien Well, we're still waiting for a goal to report here.

[00:27:37]Moro Over to the left.

[00:27:43]That will annoy the manager. They're making themselves too predictable here.

[00:27:49]Good defending there. They've slammed the door in the faces of the opposition.

[00:27:54]Pašalić Great defending, strong and determined.

[00:28:08]Moro Pašalić That's really well maneuvered.

[00:28:17]Driving forward.

[00:28:21]Stanišić cuts out the pass.

[00:28:24]Well, that was well positioned and and well pinched. They can't hurt with their backs to goal.

[00:28:32]Well, there's no getting past him. It's really well defended.

[00:28:53]>> It's a good run down the right.

[00:28:55]And that's aimed into them. CHANCE FOR A SHOT.

[00:29:00]WELL, THAT'S GOOD DEFENDING. He squeezed the play and he gave him no chance to get on the turn.

[00:29:12]Hašalić No breakthrough and well into the second period. It is still anyone's game.

[00:29:28]Budimir!

[00:29:35]Etxan Etxan proves too strong.

[00:29:54]Modrić defending his corner stubbornly.

[00:29:57]Stood up very well to his man.

[00:30:04]Pjaca He's GOT AND THE SHOT!

[00:30:09]SAME AGAIN, SAME OUTCOME.

[00:30:12]It's just unrelenting feature, wave after wave. touch. Now it's just a matter of making at least one of them count.

[00:31:01]>> Carries far too far and out of play.

[00:31:11]Bradaric Sutalo. Oh, can he get onto this?

[00:31:23]And he cuts out the supply.

[00:31:49]Delivered a cross.

[00:31:51]And that has been cleared.

[00:31:58]Moro Pasalic Pasalic Pasalic in acres of space out wide.

[00:32:27]BUDIMIR. CAN HE FINISH?

[00:32:34]Aimed forwards and they can counter here.

[00:32:40]Etienne He's through here.

[00:32:43]And they've got Reed.

[00:32:48]Budimir Does really well to win the ball back.

[00:32:54]The ball is loose and the chase is on.

[00:32:58]It's a threatening ball. Pasalic And it's Stanisic.

[00:33:05]Yeah, he's pulled him up for that challenge.

[00:33:11]Well, that looks like a final warning.

[00:33:13]Still no card.

[00:33:33]Great reaction.

[00:33:36]That's going to go a long way.

[00:33:42]Pasalic Pjaca looking to get on the end of this.

[00:34:08]Well timed, excellent interception.

[00:34:12]Pasalic Pjaca >> He is onto it in a flash.

[00:34:41]Strong running down that left flank.

[00:34:45]That's good play.

[00:34:48]Etienne Aimed into Oh, great header.

[00:35:02]A retrieve, albeit perhaps momentary.

[00:35:10]Pasalic Modric Kovacic Just about up to 75 minutes.

[00:35:27]Pasalic Modric Moro Budimir Pjaca Pjaca with the cross.

[00:35:46]And that is good defending. It's been repelled.

[00:35:55]Ball comes in.

[00:35:57]Clears it away.

[00:35:59]And here's Pasalic.

[00:36:04]And it's Moro.

[00:36:08]Modric Oh, that's well done. Really robust.

[00:36:14]Oh, he's caught him there. It's a free kick.

[00:36:33]>> No messing about, just bludgeoning away.

[00:36:46]That has been cut short.

[00:36:49]Croatia really can't be faulted for their attitude, and if they go on to win this, it'll be fully deserved.

[00:36:55]Tries a shot!

[00:36:58]Dealt with nicely by the defense.

[00:37:28]Well, he turns and shoots!

[00:37:41]OH, AND THE FINISH!

[00:37:45]AND IT'S HOISTED CLEAR.

[00:37:48]WELL, there's no doubt that they want to win this, Peter. They have to maintain the energy and dynamism until the very end, though.

[00:38:01]Noticeable change in the approach to defending here, much more in your face.

[00:38:06]Yeah, he's one of these players, Peter, who plays the percentage game. If you keep playing him in, something's bound to happen.

[00:38:15]Moro.

[00:38:19]Sutalo, gently done.

[00:38:23]Oh, he's to get himself offside.

[00:38:27]Concentration levels are very good and so is the commitment. This game could yet yield a winner.

[00:38:36]Well, you have to feel a little for the player being taken off here. I think he's been made the scapegoat after that, but I guess something had to be done. I suppose it did need a little change.

[00:38:58]Concentration levels are very good and so is the commitment. This game could yet yield a winner.

[00:39:09]Pašalić Searching pass he's played there.

[00:39:14]He can run onto that.

[00:39:16]Well, there's no doubt that they want to win this Peter. They'll have to maintain the energy and dynamism until the very end of Pašalić Oh, it's a searing run. He is a man on a mission. Serves up a cross.

[00:39:39]Tries to get it clear.

[00:39:41]Galatia really can't be faulted for their attitude and if they go on to win this, it'll be fully deserved.

[00:39:50]Played into space out wide. IT'S A MIGHTY EFFORT.

[00:39:55]HE'S BEEN ENOUGH TRY. YEAH, he may have snatched at that a bit even though it was quite close.

[00:40:12]There's going to be another change here.

[00:40:14]Well, his stamina was called into question then, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with his heart and and the effort he put in. He was very willing though, not quite able.

[00:40:23]Moro And it's Perišić.

[00:40:31]Concentration levels are very good and so is the commitment. This game could yet yield a winner.

[00:40:41]The pressing's intense and it's paid off.

[00:40:45]Well, there's no doubt that they want to win this, Peter. They have to maintain the energy and dynamism until the very end though.

[00:40:56]And here's Budimir.

[00:40:58]Perišić Now here Oh, what a climb!

[00:41:03]And he's heaved it away.

[00:41:10]And here's Budimir.

[00:41:13]Stanišić And here's Budimir.

[00:41:19]Budimir is flagged offside.

[00:41:22]Croatia clearly are pushing for the win here, Peter. It's making for a very frantic end to this game.

[00:41:35]Keeper's got good distance on that.

[00:41:39]Have it back and can go again.

[00:41:42]He is through here.

[00:41:45]Last-ditch defending, but that'll do.

[00:41:48]Moved on forwards.

[00:41:51]Well, there's no doubt that they want to win this, Peter. They'll have to maintain the energy and dynamism until the very end though.

[00:42:02]And he welcomes it in.

[00:42:05]Is it all? He's found a way through.

[00:42:10]I think we might be done here, Peter. I don't see there being enough time for them to try again.

[00:42:20]Brozović Modrić Well, they're supposed to be chasing a goal, and yet there's no urgency or sense of awareness. They've got to wake up.

[00:42:31]Brozović Šutalo Šutalo shifted upfield.

[00:42:40]Stanišić And here's Budimir. Turns and goes back.

[00:42:48]And claimed it back swiftly.

[00:42:50]And it's Modrić.

[00:42:53]MODRIć GOES FOR GOAL!

[00:42:58]WELL, that might be that, Peter. Maybe both sides just going to have to settle for the draw now.

[00:43:08]Nice and easy for the goalkeeper.

[00:43:16]And here's Budimir.

[00:43:19]Tadić I think we might be done here, Peter. I don't see there being enough time for them to try again.

[00:43:32]That'll be a corner.

[00:43:45]And that has been cleared.

[00:43:51]OH, SHOOTING CHANCE!

[00:43:54]AND HE CATCHES IT OUT SOMEHOW! I think he's done great there, both reading it and dealing with it.

[00:44:18]>> And the goalkeeper has pulled a good palm to that.

[00:44:29]We are into overtime.

[00:44:33]Budimir And it's Stanisic.

[00:44:43]And here's Perisic.

[00:44:45]Whistle's gone and they've got themselves a free kick.

[00:44:48]Well, it was deliberate, it was cynical, and you have to understand the frustration of of being denied a clear opportunity, but it had to be done.

[00:44:57]Well, the ref's been lenient here. I doubt he'll get too many more chances.

[00:45:13]Oh, what about that?

[00:45:16]AND SURELY THAT HAS WON THE DAY.

[00:45:24]A true beauty of a goal, so brilliantly executed.

[00:45:58]Croatia take what looks to be a decisive lead.

[00:46:02]There's still a bit left in it, Peter, but they should find the necessary to avoid a slip-up now.

[00:46:16]Lovely feet.

[00:46:24]Here's the chance to cross.

[00:46:31]Referee looks at his watch and blows his whistle. Well, that was tense. The two parties separated by the game's only really meaningful moment.
