1-0 Croatia! Modric buries 30-yard volley to open scoring

Croatia's Luka Modric scores one of the finest goals of his career as he ran to meet a cleared ball in the Euro 2016 match against Turkey, and lashed in a volley from several yards outside the box. Turkey goalkeeper Volkan Babacan appeared to have been slightly unsighted, but such was the power of the strike it's hard to say if anything could have stopped it.
