    No way. He has got no right to save that. Wow.

    From a Croatia point of view that has to go in the back of the net. It's a free shot from six yards out, that has to go in the back of the net.

    Now a chance for Dani Olmo at the other end. It's blocked. This is breathless stuff.

    Croatia 3-3 Spain

    What a save!

    Unai Simon gets down to keep out Andrej Kramaric's fierce close range attempt and the Croatia players cannot believe it.

    Outstanding by Simon. Croatia should have scored from seven yards.

    There's a huge noise inside the ground which is full of thousands of Croatia fans. They're emotionally drained but they are urging their side on. They can sense something special.

    No doubt about it. Croatia have the momentum and are looking very dangerous. Spain are on the back-foot.

  6. CLOSE!published at 92 mins

    Croatia 3-3 Spain

    Croatia are on the front foot in the early stages of extra time. Mislav Orsic, scorer of his side's second goal, lets fly from the edge of the box. That was close!

    I cannot believe how good this game has been.

    What I've liked the most about it is that both teams haven't played for fouls. Spain have probably ended up leaving themselves in ruin for not managing the game at the end well enough.

    Paul: Anyone really could win this Euros. Not one team in it has looked like a team who's going to be hard to beat. It's wide open. No one left in it should fear any of the others.

    Adam Salter: GAME. OF. THE. TOURNAMENT.

    Andrew Priestley: What a game! Football without the handbrake.

    Luka Modric is 35 and ought to be shattered after another HUGE shift for Croatia. He has a spring in his step and smile on his face as he gets ready to lead his country into extra-time.

    Luis Enrique has his Spain players in a huddle. They should be celebrating a win but conceded twice in the closing stages.

    The Spain boss has a big task lifting his team. They looked crestfallen when Croatia got their third.

    His arrival time is absolutely spot on. It's three on three. He wants it more, he gets there first. It's a really really good header. The keeper's got no chance. When you are that close all you've got to do is guide it towards goal and Unai Simon on that occasion had no chance. They're back in it!

    I knew there was another goal in this for Croatia!

    What a ball into the box, Pasalic has attacked it. The ball was waiting in the air to be headed into the back of the net.

    This is going to extra time and I don't know what way this game is going to go now.

    Incredible drama!

    Croatia are back from the dead as Mario Pasalic meets a cross and nods it low beyond Unai Simon from close range.

    Spain switched off. Croatia are back on level terms.
