    Croatia 2-1 Wales

    Gareth Bale pops up on the left to send the ball across the face of goal. He finds Harry Wilson unmarked at the far post but it is a difficult height for the winger and his cushioned header is over the bar.

    Croatia 2-1 Wales

    Lovely ball over the Wales defence by Luka Modric finds Andrej Kramaic, whose first touch is great, bringing the ball under control but the shot is disappointing as he thumps into the sidenetting.

    If you thought Daniel James was quick, wait until you see his replacement Rabbi Matondo.

    The Schalke winger was the fastest player when he was at Manchester City, with speed tests putting him ahead of the likes of Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling.

    You'll do well to find a substitution involving two quicker players.

    Croatia 2-1 Wales

    Still, they have to be wary of getting caught out by committing players forward. Ivan Perisic finds a bit of space in the Wales defence but puts his shot well over.

    Croatia 2-1 Wales

    Chris Mepham heads straight at the Croatia keeper from a corner. A late flourish from Wales, who are clearly boosted by that David Brooks goal.

    Brooks has made a big difference, it really is game on now.

    Ampadu has released Joe Allen, we have better width about us, there is a real chance to get something now.

    Croatia 2-1 Wales

    Final change for Wales as Dan James is replaced by Rabbi Matondo for the final 11 minutes.

    Bail out, Manchester United fans.

    It's come from nothing. It looked like the game was petering out. It's good play by Connor Roberts, who cuts the ball back. It looks like David Brooks is going to shoot on his favoured left foot but he cuts back onto his right.

    It's given Wales a lifeline. Maybe Croatia thought they were done and dusted.

    GOAL - Croatia 2-1 Walespublished at 78 mins

    David Brooks

    Oh this one isn't over yet!

    Substitute David Brooks has a go from just outside the box and the ball deflects off the head of a Croatia defender, looping into the back of the net with Dominik Livakovic wrongfooted.

    That's Brooks' first goal for his country.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 76 mins

    Croatia 2-0 Wales

    Fresh legs for Croatia as Milan Badelj comes into midfield, replacing Mateo Kovacic.

    Gareth Bale wasn't fully committed going into the challenge. He came out with the ball but it was just a pot shot.

    Croatia 2-0 Wales

    Good work from Gareth Bale to win the ball just outside the Croatia box. He knocks the ball onto his left before cracking off a shot at goal but the ball is pushed behind by Dominik Livakovic.

    Croatia 2-0 Wales

    Both sets of players are starting to look a little leggy now with hopeful balls forward failing to find willing runners.

  14. Get involved #bbcfootballpublished at 15:31 British Summer Time 8 June 2019

    Sulaimon Adelekan: Croatia's quality is coming to the fore here. Ivan Perisic is such a quality player, should have moved from Inter after the World Cup he had but he definitely doesn't have age on his side.

    Croatia 2-0 Wales

    Dan James bursts forward to keep the ball alive but he is hacked down Domagoj Vida, earning the Croat a yellow card and Wales a free-kick right by the dugout.

    That prompts cooling break number two.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 65 mins

    Croatia 2-0 Wales

    There's also a change for Croatia as midfielder Mario Pasalic replaces Josip Brekalo.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 63 mins

    Croatia 2-0 Wales

    A double change for Wales as Matt Smith is replaced by David Brooks and Ethan Ampadu is on for Wil Vaulks. A positive change from Ryan Giggs as he looks to freshen things up.

    Wales have been their own worst enemies at times with some abysmal defending - but they're not without hope.

    Gareth Bale is growing into the game, with space on offer behind Croatia's defence when the hosts push up in search of a third goal.

    Unless Wales get a goal back soon, however, that faint hope will fade fast.

    Croatia 2-0 Wales

    Ivan Perisic once again gets the better of Connor Roberts, who is going to be having nightmares about the the Inter Milan midfielder given how much he has terrorised him in this game, however there's no-one in the box to meet Perisic's cross.
