72' - Not a Goal! Alvaro Morata puts the ball in the back of the net but the referee calls for offside.
Even when he scores... he doesn't!
Croatia vs Spain
67' - Unai Simon makes a good save getting down to his right with Josko Gvardiol getting a snap shot through as he was being closed down.
57' - GOAL! Cesar Azpilicueta hands Spain the lead against Croatia!
Pedri breaks through to the centre, threatening to shoot as the defenders of Croatia are unsettled, which allows Ferran Torres ample space and time to whip in an inviting cross onto the head of Azpilicueta, who makes no mistake and get Spain ahead in the game for the first time in this game.

53' - Ferran Torres with a ball at the far post where Cesar Azpilicueta ghosts in to get a cross cum shot away, but it is straight into the hands of Dominik Livakovic.

2nd HALF! We are back for the second 45 for Croatia vs Spain!
It has been Spanish domination for most of the first half but a mistake gave Croatia the lead and then made amends with a superb team goal.
More of the same or will Spain feel the heat from Croatia?
HALF TIME! Pablo Sarabia's equaliser for Spain cancelled out the bizarre own goal that gave Croatia the lead!
38' - GOAL! Pablo Sarabia equalises for Spain against Croatia!
La Roja draw level, as Koke, Pedri and Sarabia combine with quick, intricate passes. Jose Gaya drills in an angled shot from the left that Livakovic only manages to parry as Sarabia blasts the ball into the net from close range.

Croatia vs Spain
A mistake is the difference!
Croatia vs Spain
29' - Croatia have been far more adventurous after the own goal that gave them the lead. Spain are understandably deflated and their passing too has been wayward since this happened...
20' - OWN GOAL! What a freak goal as Croatia gets an unlikely lead against Spain!
Unai Simon can't believe his luck! He barely had to do anything up until now but a simple pass back to him costs him. He now has to pick the ball out of his net.
Croatia vs Spain
19' - Another chance for Spain! Ferran Torres crosses it in the danger area as Alvaro Morata is the intended taget but he messes it up as Domagoj Vida deoe enough!
Croatia vs Spain
16' - What a chance! Koke gets the ball from a beautiful run but his finish is left wanting as Dominik Livakovic again runs out of his goal and makes himself big. The shot hits the keeper and is wide.
Croatia vs Spain
13' - Alvaro Morata gets in behind the defence and then back heels the ball to Pablo Sarabia, who takes a first-time shot that ruffled the wrong side of the net.
Croatia vs Spain
9' - La Roja have been on the front foot in the opening exchanges of the contest, as Croatia have found it hard to get the ball away from their own half. Interestingly, most of the loose ball has so far landed at the feet of the Spaniards.
Croatia vs Spain
3' - Aymeric Laporte with a beautiful ball over the Croatian defence for Pablo Sarabia but Dominik Livakovic is out of his goal line and catches the ball assuredly.
KICK-OFF! Croatia and Spain get us underway at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen!
We have a really mouth-watering clash on our hands.
Another record for Pedri!
1 - At 18 years and 215 days, @Pedri becomes the youngest ever player to start a knockout game in a European Championship, overtaking the record of Wayne Rooney (18y 244d v Portugal in 2004). #EURO2020 #CRO #ESP. Youth. pic.twitter.com/qH3mnaHtsG

Spain manager Luis Enrique made two changes to his starting lineup for their Euro 2020 last 16 clash with Croatia from the side that hammered Slovakia 5-0 in their final Group E match.
Ferran Torres, who netted against the Slovakians, replaces Gerard Moreno up front and will play alongside Alvaro Morata and Pablo Sarabia, while Jose Gaya comes into the left back slot instead of 32-year old stalwart Jordi Alba.
Captain Sergio Busquets will continue to pull the strings in a three-man midfield including Koke and Pedri.
Ante Rebic starts on the left flank for Croatia, replacing Ivan Perisic, who is in self-isolation after contracting COVID-19 following their 3-1 win over Scotland in the final Group D match.
Duje Caleta-Car replaces the suspended Dejan Lovren in the centre of defence and attacking midfielder Nikola Vlasic gets the nod again as coach Zlatko Dalic deploys an adventurous formation to face the Spaniards.
Spain Starting XI - Unai Simon; Cesar Azpilicueta, Eric Garcia, Aymeric Laporte, Jose Gaya; Pedri, Sergio Busquets, Koke; Ferran Torres, Alvaro Morata, Pablo Sarabia
