What a game and what a win for Croatia! They led twice, were pegged back twice, but kept going right until the fourth minute of stoppage time. It was a hugely entertaining game, particularly in the second half when all five goals were scored! This result means that Spain now need a draw between England and Croatia next week to go through to the finals.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Croatia 3 (94 mins - Tin Jedvaj) Spain 2. Croatia have won it right at the death! It's Jedvaj again with the goal! Brekalo gets the shot on goal from just inside the box, De Gea pushes it out, but Jedvaj was on hand to convert the rebound and give Croatia a huge three points in this Nations League group!

Perisic was in! The first touch from the Inter Milan winger set him up for the shot on goal from a tight angle, but Ramos threw himself at the back to make the block! What drama!

Ceballos takes the yellow card. He stopped a Croatia counter attack rather cynically.

Pjaca comes on for Kramaric, who had a good game and netted the opener, but will rue his missed opportunities to score more,

Perisic is going to need a new shirt. After a scuffle between the two sets of players, which involved Busquets and Modric, the winger's shirt is torn. He's getting a new one now.

Croatia counter! What a run it was from Kramaric, who sprinted about 40 yards with the ball at his feet. He had Vlasic free on his right, but he takes the shot himself and it's blocked.
86'
For such an important match with plenty on the line, this is still an extremely open encounter. With just minutes left to play, this could swing either way. Both teams going for it.
85'
You have to admire the spirit and determination of this Croatia team. This is what we saw from them at the World Cup. Their resilience to keep going is quite remarkable.

Spain are just taking the chance to slow the play down and knock the passes around the middle of the pitch as they prepare for another assault on the Croatian goal. Taking a breather.
81'
There's just under 10 minutes left of this match and it seems likely that there will be at least one more goal the way these two teams are playing. Both desperate for the win.
80'
This has turned into a truly incredible match. Spain are having the better of the play as they search for a third goal, but that is only leaving space in behind for Croatia to exploit.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Croatia 2 Spain 2 (78 mins - Sergio Ramos pen). We're level once again in this pulsating second half! Ramos steps up to the 12-yard mark and sends Kalinic the wrong way. He grabs the ball and runs back to the centre spot. Spain want to win this game now. A point isn't what they came for.
