44'

A lack of conviction from Kramaric as he scuffs a poor shot at goal.

41'

Croatia are still searching for their first goal of the tournament and they could really do with finding it before half-time which is now just a few minutes away.

Whether it should have been a penalty or not, Schick is now the competition's top goalscorer after his coolly taken penalty...

38'

Chance! Croatia have a golden opportunity to equalise immediately, as Czech Republic lose the ball cheaply in midfield. Rebic is ushered through... but slices his effort well wide.

37'

GOAL! Croatia 0-1 Czech Republic (Patrik Schick): That man Schick again! He makes no mistake, tucking the ball into the bottom corner after sending Livakovic the wrong way. Czech Republic, albeit in controversial manner, have the lead.

The penalty is given! Yes, Czech Republic are going to have a golden opportunity to break the deadlock here and Lovren is handed a yellow card into the bargain. The incident is shown on the big screen and the Croatia players are absolutely livid with the decision, surrounding the referee, but he's not going to change his mind.

34'

VAR check! But wait, the referee is going to the screen to have another look at this... Is he going to give Czech Republic a penalty? Was there any intention from Lovren? It didn't look like it...

33'

Jankto takes the corner short, exchanging a pass with Coufal before seeing his floated cross headed clear by Lovren. Play is then stopped to allow Schick to receive treatment for a bloodied nose after he was caught by Lovren.

32'

Soucek wins Czech Republic a corner. Can they make anything from it?

30'

After half an hour, we're still waiting for the game's first clear-cut opportunity. It's all been too slow so far, there's been no urgency from either side.

28'

More nice football from Croatia now, but Gvardiol's cross is deflected and once again Vaclik takes command of the situation, off his line quickly to claim.

25'

Croatia are beginning to find their rhythm now after a slow start, as Vrsaljko has the space to deliver a cross but Vaclik plucks it out of the air.

23'

Shot! After a half-hearted appeal for a Croatian penalty is ignored, Modric takes a short corner, it's worked to Perisic whose effort is saved by Vaclik.

21'

Whoops! A back pass is played into the feet of the Czech Republic goalkeeper Vaclik whose attempted clearance hits Rebic! It could land anywhere but loops just wide, and that's a let-off.

20'

Masopust believes he's in after a lovely ball from Soucek, he has time to assess his options but his cross from the right is cleared by Lovren, and then the offside flag goes up.

19'

Chance! You'd expect the net to bulge there as the ball drops to Schick inside the box at point-blank range, but he can't get the connection he wants to convert Coufal's cross from the right.

15'

Not the most exciting of contests so far, admittedly, and we could really do with a goal.

13'

Over! Coufal's cross is decent and Lovren can't grow enough to get a decent clearance on it. It drops to Jankto at the far post but his first-time volley is always rising. That's a real chance for Czech Republic.
