The Croats moved the ball upfield from the left flank, to work it well inside the Scottish box. Matteo Kovacic then received the ball from the left and passed it onto his senior partner who was right on the edge of the box. Modric took a stride and let fly an outside of the boot curler which nestled into the top-corner past Marshall.
