Going into the game, both teams had a chance of finishing first, second or bottom of the group and England nearly found themselves a goal down inside two minutes.A mix-up at the back between Jordan Pickford and Fabian Delph helped the ball break to Ante Rebic but his chip sailed over the bar. After that, Gareth Southgate’s men seized control of the game.Raheem Sterling missed a glorious chance to give them the lead when put through on goal but the Manchester City man was unable to show the same composure as he did against Spain last month and struck the ball straight at the keeper.Harry Kane then scooped the ball over from the resulting corner after latching onto John Stones’s header.England missed a catalogue of chances in the first-half4

The frontman picked up the ball inside the box before eventually getting his shot away, which took a huge deflection off Eric Dier before dropping into the net.Kramaric gave Croatia an undeserved lead on 57 minutes4
