France 2-1 Croatia
Antoine Griezmann has scored or assisted 12 goals in 10 knockout games at major tournaments (World Cup + Euros), more than any other player for France over the last 50 years ahead of Zinedine Zidane (8) and Michel Platini (6).
France 2-1 Croatia
The opening 20-odd minutes were pretty stale but we're now all set for a fine World Cup final. Three goals already and a big juicy VAR talking point...

Martin Keown
Former England defender on BBC One
You have to give Antoine Griezmann credit because he was under pressure but he nonchalantly rolls it into the corner and makes it look easy.
France 2-1 Croatia
Can Croatia respond again? They trail 2-1 despite France not really having a shot on goal yet. They do come close straight away, Ivan Perisic is everywhere and he flies down the left to put a cross in but Ante Rebic fluffs his shot...

It is a brilliant penalty. Griezmann doesn't panic. He's calm and cool.
Antoine Griezmann (Pen)
Cool as you like! Antoine Griezmann had to wait a long old time to take that but he slots home left-footed, sending Danijel Subasic the wrong way. Dig out the Fortnite celebration and that's goal number four of the World Cup...

It is supposed to be clear and obvious but in that last picture, you see the hand going down towards the ball.

I would have given that as handball.
France 1-1 Croatia
He's given it!
Ivan Perisic was so close to the ball, but once the referee goes to have a look you always feel like he is going to give the penalty...

Sir Trevor Brooking
Former England midfielder in Moscow for BBC Radio 5 live
I wouldn't give that. It would be unlucky to give the penalty.
France 1-1 Croatia
He's going to check it! This could be a penalty for France...
France 1-1 Croatia
France corner, swung in, nodded on at the near post and that hit Ivan Perisic's hand!
Penalty?!
Oh it was very close to him. That would be unlucky...

France 1-1 Croatia
You can't knock Croatia when it comes to mental strength.
Behind against Denmark in the last 16 and won, behind against Russia in the quarter-finals and won, behind against England in the semi-final and won, behind against France in the final...

Here's how France took the lead, against the run of play...

Dion Dublin
Ex-Aston Villa striker on BBC Radio 5 live
There were three headers in the box and the disappointing thing for France is that Croatia won all of them. It is terrible defending.

Martin Keown
Former England defender on BBC One
It's a great free-kick and Sime Vrsaljko heads it back across the goal. But look at the technique from a man who wants it more than anyone else. Unbelievable strike and it is beautiful execution. I'm not sure what he had for breakfast but he has started this game brilliantly well.
