Thank you so much for joining us tonight.
it's been a dramatic evening of World Cup football. Stay tuned to Eurosport for all the reaction!
90'
That is that.
Heartbreaking for Iceland, who have really impressed in the World Cup. They will be back but it is Croatia who march on.
They have been really good thus far.
90+4'
Blimey nearly an own-goal from Lovren as he nearly heads over a deflected corner.
90+2'
Iceland keep pressing but their race is run sadly.
90'
GOAL! ICELAND 1-2 CROATIA (PERISIC)
Heartbreak. The end of Iceland's World Cup hopes but Croatia are set to win all three World Cup group games for the first time ever.
Perisic gets down the left and smashes the ball into the corner. Question marks over Halldórsson though.
88'
THERE'S BEEN A GOAL IN ST. PETERSBURG!
Argentina have scored. That means one goal for Iceland will do it...
85'
Perisic takes it but it goes over. Finnbogason is off and A. Gudmundsson is off.
85'
Croatia break and Perisic tries to take it alone rather than play it into Rakitic. Free-kick in a dangerous area...
84'
Kalinic comes out and does really well to punch a free-kick away.
Jedvaj had been booked for that.
83'
Less than ten minutes to go.
Can Iceland get one more?
81'
Another change for Croatia.
Kovacic is coming off and rakitic is on.
78'
Time for a Thunderclap from the fans to try and rally the players.
76'
GOAL! CROATIA 1-1 ICELAND (SIGURDSSON)
He missed his last one against Nigeria but he's calmly put that into the top corner. Excellent from the talisman.
75'
PENALTY!
Iceland have been awarded a penalty for handball from Lovren.
73'
IS THAT THE MOMENT?
Incredibly Iceland break and Finnbogason is onside.
He squares it and plays it to the back post but Bjarnason gets it all wrong and it goes wide.
71'
Attacking chang from Iceland. R. Sigurdsson is off and Sigurdarson is on. Incredibly that's the third Icelandic player on the pitch now who plays their club trade in this stadium with Rostov.
69'
Iceland break whilst Pjaca is down but they can't make it count.
Looks like Lovren could be coming on.
66'
Modric has gone off with Bradarić on now.. Kramaric's deflected shot goes wide but Croatia can't do anything from the corner.
66'
Sigurdsson twisting and turning on the right and he fires a shot over and wide from a very tight ankle.
You wonder if earlier in the match that would have been crossed.
64'
Here's the second yellow of the tournament for Iceland. Finnbogason goes for a loose ball but he's late and catches a lot of Kalinic.
