Come per Russia-Spagna, Croazia-Danimarca è stato un cocktail di tempi regolamentari ed extra conclusi sull’1-1, con noia. Dopo i gol iniziali di Jorgensen e Mandžukić, l’unico sussulto è stato il rigore sbagliato da Modric, parato da Schmeichel. Nella serie dei penalty sono stati protagonisti i portieri: Schmeichel para i tiri dal dischetto di Badelj e Pivaric, mentre Subasic sventa quelli di Schone e (soprattutto) quello di Jorgensen. Poi Raktic segna il 3-2 (4-3 con i gol dei regolamentari) decisivo che porta i croati ai quarti dove incontreranno la Russia.

Have you calmed down now, #CRO & #DEN?
Two goals inside the first four minutes, from a Social Media point of view, is a bit much! ?

The phrase "good things come to those who wait" clearly hasn't been translated into Croatian ??#CRODEN pic.twitter.com/CECY6b24Is

However, with Mario Mandzukic's effort hitting the back of the net on 3:37, it does beat that game as the fastest occasion both teams have ever scored in at a #WorldCup ?#CRODEN pic.twitter.com/IyK8dKVEzF

Incredible. Simply incredible.
Not sure we'll see a shoot-out like that again for a while! Five saves, but #CRO take it.#CRODEN pic.twitter.com/BDF10UDA0T
