    I am not surprised it is how Croatia made their way to the final four years ago by playing it cautiously. In the second half I felt they had the opportunity to push it a little bit.

    It was a slightly different second half. Croatia have done well to get themselves back into the game thanks to Perisic's header. After that there were plenty of changes and the level dropped. It was more stop start. We will see how much energy these players have as we go into extra time.

    Takumi Minamino comes forward for Japan - but they haven't gambled with numbers - so he ends up going backwards.

    Japan 1-1 Croatia

    Ante Budimir fouls a defender as he goes for a cross and it's a free out to Japan. I can't see many/any chances before full-time.

  8. INJURY TIMEpublished at 90 mins

    Four minutes added on. If there's no goals there'll be another 30.

    Not a load happening to be honest. Have both sides settled for extra time?

    Ivan Perisic is the first player to score in three successive World Cup knockout stage matches since Diego Forlan and Wesley Sneijder (both in 2010).

    We are in a very interesting phase of the game. Do you go for it? Or take your chances with extra time?

    At the moment if I was Zlatko Dalic I would go for it. It is there for them.

    Imagine a Japan v South Korea derby for a place in the semi-finals. A lot has to happen for that mind...

    Brazil or South Korea for the winner of this.
