The match between Spain and Croatia took place at a slow pace in the first minutes. In the first 25 minutes of the match, both teams only had 3 shots, but there were no notable situations.

However, the turning point came in the 29th minute when Spain took the lead through Morata, the Atletico Madrid star making a delicate run and finishing one-on-one to beat goalkeeper Livakovic.

It seemed like the first half would end with 2 goals, but in the last minute of extra time, Carvajal scored from close range, increasing Spain’s lead to 3 goals.

Entering the second half, Croatia pushed up their formation to find an equalizer, and dangerous opportunities really came. In the 55th minute, in a chaotic situation in front of the goal, right-back Stanisic had a chance to shoot close to the goal, but the Croatian star’s shot could not get past the determined Cucurella.
