HALF-TIME: France 2-1 Croatia
Croatia can count themselves somewhat unfortunate tonight so far. France have not had to do much on the pitch, but they've already scored two goals.
First Mandzukic's own goal, and now Perisic's handball gifted Griezmann the opportunity to put France in front - which he took.

43' The ball drops to Lovren in the France box who thumps it against a French defender.
France are still really struggling to deal with Croatia's direct style of play.

42' Even with Griezmann putting his side ahead from the penalty spot, Les Bleus still have the same problem to solve: they are losing all the duels, in the air and on the ground.
Griezmann's precision on free-kicks has been
a precious and so far dangerous weapon, but it is not going to be
enough against this battling Croatian team.

37' France 2-1 Croatia
Antoine Griezmann gives France back the lead from the penalty spot.
Should the penalty have been awarded though.

33' CHANCE for France as Griemann swings in a corner that strikes Perisic's hand as France claim hand-ball!
The referee is checking the replay!
PENALTY!!!!!
15 Jul 2018
What a response!
France fail to clear a Croatia free-kick delivered deep from left to right and Ivan Perisic takes control, stepping around his marker and slamming a left-footed drive into the far corner with the aid of a slight deflection.
GAME ON!
