World Cup: More Penalties, Croatia More Accurate Than Denmark

After Russia-Spain, Croatia-Denmark also ends in penalties, a logical consequence of a match that the Croatians were afraid to win and that the Danes managed to bring home with a draw without even major problems (penalty at the end aside). In the end, Croatia triumphs, more precise than Denmark from the spot. In the quarterfinals, they will face the host national team.
The match goes through 4 minutes of madness: first minute of play, unpretentious shot by M. Jorgensen, Zanka, Subasic inexplicably kicks it into the goal with his hand. 3 minutes pass and a clearance by Dalsgaard hits Christensen on the head, the touch becomes a perfect assist for Mandzukic who, despite not shooting very well, puts it in. 1-1 after 4 minutes, then Croatian domination with many opportunities and some excellent responses by Schmeichel but the Danes are not just entrenched in the back. They sometimes try to come out with their heads held high and create some headaches in the area of ​​Subasic. In the second half the fear of losing grows and boredom takes over the spectacle of the first half of the game. There are few opportunities to score, it goes to extra time. Little happens until the Croatian penalty in the 114th minute, Rebic brought down in the area by M. Jorgensen. Luka Modric, not just anyone, steps up to take the penalty, but in front of his father Peter, Kasper Schmeichel blocks the kick.
