Nobody scored more than one goal in the last five games, so surely Argentina and/or Croatia can break that sequence?
Croatia started confidently, soon forcing Caballero into a fine save, and with Argentina also getting forward it was only a matter of time until a goal came. Surely. But despite some very dodgy defending it remained goalless at half-time as both sides spurned great chances.
During the break we were reminded about Southgates’s injured shoulder again. Did you hear about that yeah?
Another defensive blunder by Caballero presented Rebic with the chance to put Croatia ahead and he took it well. Higuain came on for Aguero allowing Messi to move into the middle and he immediately started to see more of the ball.
However there was still a lack of penetration from the Argentinians and Croatia piled the pressure on them with a cracking second from Modric. Rakitic thumped the crossbar from a free-kick but then scored an added-time third.
Croatia through, Argentina needing a win and a favour to survive.
