That is the third cross that was crossed in low, which you now have to think is deliberate from Japan. Something that they worked on and figured out with this team you have to cross it in low.

Petkovic finally gets in and Kramaric was just there waiting for a square pass. That's his first sight of anything positive in this game and he didn't do anything with it.

Croatia need to offer something more from an attacking perspective. When they are knocking it around midfield, I feel Japan are quite comfortable.

Should have been a big chance for Croatia, this. Bruno Petkovic runs onto a long ball over the top. Andrej Kramaric is in space screaming for the ball in the middle of the box but Petkovic doesn't see him.

Nick: I have the feeling the Japanese really are at the World Cup just to be underestimated at everyone’s peril.

A Croatia free-kick lands to Josko Gvardiol on the edge of the box but he absolutely skies a shot.

Highly rated Croatia defender Josko Gvardiol is brought down by Ritsu Doan and seem to be in a bit of pain. He's fine though.

You can feel Japan's confidence growing in this game. They have found success in those wide areas. Croatia on the other hand have struggled a little bit, they've been slow.

Japan have put in a couple of very good and dangerous crosses and it is only a matter of time before someone gets on the end of that.

Croatia really need to work on stopping those crosses coming in.

Barisic has got a big problem every time Ito runs by him, he's too quick and too sharp. He just knocks the ball past him and whips one into the area.

Here was that chance for a Spurs player after an Arsenal player's error.

Japan's Junya Ito does Rangers defender Borna Barisic for pace but his low cross is held by Dominik Livakovic.

Japan players line up like they're going to shoot with this long-range free-kick but they try a short routine instead and never reach the box.

That's a really rash challenges from Gvardiol, he needs to just get there and stand up. He lunges in and Doan buys the foul.

Croatia are not fully committed to attacking as they are keeping four players back at all times as they know if they lose the ball how quickly Japan can change the game. It is a bit cautious this from Croatia in the beginning of the game.

Ritsu Doan spins past masked Croatia defender Josko Gvardiol, who brings him down. Free-kick but no card.

The delivery was spot on, Japan are having their moments in this game with great deliveries into the box.

Japan have got a few decent crosses in so far. Yuto Nagatomo whips one in towards Daizen Maeda but it's headed away.

Modric makes good runs down the left hand side quite a lot, he just waits for things to develop. He'll be where Taniguchi and Yoshida will be.
