  3. Croatia will go on to play the hosts Russia in a quarter-final next Saturday. They have to play muchbetter, they surely will.

    Peter Schmeichel is bereft up in the stands. His son could not have done much more to steer his nation into the last eight.

  8. SAVED! - Nicolai Jorgensen

    Croatia 2-2 Denmark

    A stuttering run-up and the keeper stops it with his legs!

  9. SAVED! - Josip Pivaric

    GOAL - Luka Modric

    Croatia 2-2 Denmark

    BIG MOMENT. Luka Modric, who missed in extra time, steps up and... scores. Just. He went centrally and Schmeichel's feet are inches away from keeping it out.

    The third sub to take a penalty in this shootout. And he sends the keeper the wrong way.

    GOAL - Andrej Kramaric

  16. MISS! - Christian Eriksen

    Croatia 0-0 Denmark

    All the number 10s are missing today. Christian Eriksen's effort is brilliantly tipped onto the post.

  17. I'll reset the scores to 0-0.

  18. 'Concentrate on the ball'

    Croatia 1-1 Denmark

    Terry Butcher
    Ex-England captain on BBC Radio 5 live

    It's as much a mental thing as it is a physical thing when you prepare to take a penalty. You have to blank everything out and concentrate on the ball.

  19. Denmark will take the first one.

  20. Croatia 1-1 Denmark

    I know I sound like your dad here but this gap between extra time and penalties doesn't half drag on nowadays.
