Welcome to LIVE text commentary of the European Championship qualifying play-off first leg between Turkey and Croatia at the Turk Telekom Arena.

The referee blows up for full-time and Croatia have one foot in the European Championship finals after a routine victory in Istanbul.

There will be two minutes of added time.

CROATIA SUB: The visitors make their final sub, with Eduardo coming on for Mandzukic.

Sabri plays in a cross but there's just one man in the box - and the ball flies over his head. That sums up Turkey's night.

Turan is the fourth Turkish player to go into the referee's book after kicking the ball at Modric after the whistle had gone. That's very poor discipline.

That change will provide Croatia with a target man for the final few minutes. Not that they are in any danger of conceding.

CROATIA SUB: Goalscorer Olic makes way for Rangers striker Jelavic.

CROATIA SUB: Rakitic is replaced by Pranjic.

Turkey corner. Sarioglu delivers but Simunic rises to head clear.

TURKEY SUB: Turkey make their final change with Bulut coming on for Yilmaz.

Turkey fail to clear a corner and Olic fires over unmarked! The Croatia player probably had more time to pick his spot than he thought!

Sarioglu goes through the back of Mandzukic with a completely unnecessary challenge. Will he be shown a second yellow?! No, the referee's spared the Turkey attacker.

Modric looks to curl one in the far corner from 25 yards but Demirel is on hand to make a comfortable save.

Burak's corner is half-cleared before Pletikosa rises to comfortably collect the subsequent cross back in. Turkey will need to do a lot better than that if they're to grab a goal back.

I have to say, the referee - Felix Brych from Germany - has been excellent tonight.

Sabri is rightly booked for his over-reaction. Corluka's challenge wasn't worth a yellow card, which is just as well as the Tottenham player was booked in the first half.

Corluka catches Sabri, who reacts badly. Handbags!

Olic slides through the back of Sarioglu, scraping his studs down the back of the Turkey player's leg, and is rightly booked.

TURKEY SUB: Topal comes on for Inan.

Superb defensive work frmo Simunic to shield the ball out for a goal-kick.
