    Alvaro Morata pokes it over the line from point-blank range. Spain think they have a third goal but it's ruled out by an offside flag.

    Croatia 1-2 Spain

    Croatia have 20 minutes to find a goal otherwise they're heading out. They've sent on Mislav Orsic.

    Spain have just sent on Dani Olmo, who used to play his club football in Croatia.

    That was a really crucial save by Unai Simon after his comical role in the own goal. He deserves credit for that save.

  5. GREAT SAVE!published at 68 mins

    Good save by Simon!

    He gets down to his right to keep it out after a great move unlocked Spain's defence. Josko Gvardiol with the attempt but Simon produces a strong hand to save.

    Big chance for Croatia but it's a tired attempt by Ante Rebic who tries to curl it beyond the keeper but doesn't make a clean connection.

    They're getting ready to make another change.

    When something so freak like the own goal happens, you have a choice in those moments to let yourself crumble or to gather momentum from it and rally each other.

    That is what this Spanish side has done and all credit to them for coming back.

    Spain are looking to get this done and dusted. Pablo Sarabia's cross towards Alvaro Morata is just about cleared.

    I don't think Unai Simon is going to feature, but you never know. What a game this has been so far. You can rate the players here.

    Croatia are sitting deep. Looks like they will hope to catch a goal on the counter. Or another calamitous own goal...

    Guy Hide: Torres, Sarabia & Pedri have been an absolute joy to watch tonight.

    Erik: Pedri is 18 years old. What a player he is already.

    George MacMillan: Don’t see Croatia coming back from this. After all Spain have scored all the goals.

    Great play that is from the Spanish, just nice and patient playing through the thirds. Lovely cross into the box and you're expecting Morarta to be there. It's not Morata, it's the full back Azpilicueta. Look at that, the keeper's got no chance. That's a very very good header.

    Ferran Torres assist. César Azpilicueta with the finish. A goal made in the Premier League.

    Superb team goal by the way. Ferran Torres' delivery all evening has been superb.

    Morata has been wasteful but his run takes the player away from the front post area, he pins the goalkeeper and the centre half.

    An unlikely source in Azpilicueta coming in from the right back area and he can't miss. It's the easiest header of his career.

    There haven't been many comeback wins at this tournament but Spain are on course for one. They've shown great character since conceding THAT goal.

    What a header!

    Spain have come from behind to lead and it's a beauty from Cesar Azpilicueta.

    The Chelsea defender rises above Croatia's defence to meet a lovely cross and he gives Croatia's keeper no chance.

    Another change coming up. This time they're switching the ball. The original one has gone flat!

    Opta have been looking at the own goal.

    It came at a distance of 49.4 yards, the longest-ever own-goal netted in the European Championship and the first one ever scored from outside the box.
