    Brozovic isn't happy, he thinks he's got the ball before taking out Dan James.

    Stupid from Marcelo Brozovic, he body checks Daniel James and Wales gleefully accept the break in play.

    The clock ticks on.

    Wales clear from a Croatia corner.

    It's all Croatia now though. Attack v defence, Wales just desperately trying to protect what they have.

    You feel so mentally drained after these sort of games.

    Luka Modric flicks the ball into the air and sets himself for a shot, but he blazes over from 20 yards.

    A rare moment of him not being absolutely immaculate in everything he does.

    Still bossing games at 38.

    I feel like the stadium clock has stopped.

    I keep looking at it and it's not moving!

    Nathan Broadhead is on for Harry Wilson.

    Wilson's best game for Wales.

    Maybe the best game of his career.

    Will it be a match winning contribution?

    They (Croatia) look like they've got a second wind.

    Wales need to make sure they do the basics well now.

    Wales 2-1 Croatia

    Wales will be furious to concede from a corner.

    They are wobbling now.

    Dion Drena Beljo just missed a free header.

    Wales need to keep their composure.

    Wales need to keep their shape and structure now and restrict Croatia to efforts from distance.

    That'll show that we're controlling the game.

    Wales 2-0 Croatia

    Wales are supposed to be a team in a transitional period, but this is a performance that matches anything the golden generation produced.

    Croatia are being dominated. This is a nation who reached the 2022 World Cup semi-final and the 2018 World Cup final.

    Wales 2-0 Croatia

    There is lots of space in behind the Croatia defence and Daniel James is exploiting it.

    He cuts inside and shoots, but it's narrowly wide.

    A third Welsh goal looking more likely than a Croatia goal.

    What is going on?

    Hopefully Turkey will run away with the group now and they'll come here in November with their place in Germany already secured.
