FT: Panama 0 - 1 Croatia

P

By Pokuah Frimpong

90 + 2' Panama with a set-piece opportunity

P

By Pokuah Frimpong

Petar Sucic comes diving in and takes out Rodriguez. He gets a yellow card for his troubles.

It's in a great spot just outside the box straight on.

It's a poor free kick from Murillo, who skies it over the bar.

90' Five minutes added on

P

By Pokuah Frimpong

Panama has a free-kick opportunity, but it's poor from Davis, who overhits it and gifts possession back to Croatia.

90' More subs for Panama

P

By Pokuah Frimpong

Tomás Rodríguez on for Edgar Yoel Barcenas.

Eric Davis comes on for Cesar Blackman.

86' Time running out for Panama

P

By Pokuah Frimpong

Croatia has regained control of this game.

Panama has to go all out. Time is not their friend right now.

A loss and their World Cup dreams are over.

83' Panama subs

P

By Pokuah Frimpong

On comes Azarias Londono to replace Jose Fajardo.

79' Panama waste a chance

P

By Pokuah Frimpong

The initial corner is too deep for anyone to get a header away, but it finds Carlos Harvey, who seems indecisive whether he should shoot or lay it off.

He ends up choosing to shoot, but it goes straight into the side netting.

76' Finally, subs for Panama

P

By Pokuah Frimpong

On comes Cecilio Waterman to replace Jiovany Ramos.

I have to say I am very surprised it's taken so long for Panama to make a change. Better late than never, I guess.

More subs for Croatia

P

On: Luka Sucic, Petar Sucic

Off: Mateo Kovacic, Marco Pasalic

69' Hydration break

P

By Pokuah Frimpong

Panama is pushing, but it's Croatia with the all-important lead.

68' Panama denied twice

P

By Pokuah Frimpong

Martinez does so well to save the ball before it goes out at the corner flag.

They manage to get a few great shots away, but it's saved and pushed behind for a corner.

The subsequent corner is a great chance for Ramos, whose header is on target but is pushed over the crossbar just in time by Livakovic.

65' Panama pushing for an equaliser

P

By Pokuah Frimpong

Panama are certainly not retreating after the goal.

However, unlike in the first half, when they looked like the more dangerous side on the counter, Croatia has flipped the script.

The more Panama pushes, the more space is left behind for Croatia, who are getting into dangerous areas.

61' Barcenas gets the first yellow

P

By Pokuah Frimpong

He comes in late as Modric has possession. He completely mistimed the challenge and took him out with a bump.

57' Pasalic fails to make it 2-0

P

By Pokuah Frimpong

I'm not sure why Pasalic has not scored there.

Croatia breaks away in their own half, and Pasalic breaks free, and Modric finds him with a great through ball.

One on one with the keeper, and Mosquera stays on his feet and blocks the first effort, which falls back to Pasalic, but he skies the second effort.

54' CROATIA ARE IN FRONT!!

P

By Pokuah Frimpong

An immediate impact from the substitute, Budimir.

An excellent bit of play on the right wing between Pasalic and Stanisic.

Stanisic has plenty of space to get a low cross into the box, and Budimir can redirect it towards the goal.

Loser goes home in Group L

P

By Pokuah Frimpong

This is an incredibly important match for both sides, with the loser's World Cup dream over.

A draw will keep both teams alive, but with both Ghana and England on 4 points, a win is imperative for both sides.

No surprise that Croatia decided to make attacking changes at the break.

Croatia subs

On: Ante Budimir, Andrej Kramaric

Off: Josko Gvardiol, Petar Musa
