00:00Tonight we have a very interesting encounter between Croatia and Canada as both sides are looking to record their first win of the tournament.

00:08And it's a much needed win at that as both are looking to keep their hopes alive of progressing out of the group stage.

00:17Well it was surely the moment when reality truly dawned when they heard that anthem before the game against Belgium.

00:24And this a defining day for Canada in the words of their coach.

00:30Well Belgium's defeat, Morocco's victory has certainly changed the dynamic in this group.

00:40Both didn't really get what they wanted in the opening encounters.

00:45Although Canada certainly delivered a performance.

00:47That is what Croatia need tonight and they need it urgently Andy.

00:51Larin gathering it in as Canada look to find some early momentum.

00:56Well Davies arriving!

01:00Oh Canada!

01:02Their time has come!

01:05And it is their shining star, Alphonso Davies!

01:10And makes it his.

01:12Wants it more than any red and white shirt out there.

01:17Gets across his man.

01:19Puts his head on it.

01:20Heads it down.

01:21Does everything you have to do.

01:23And then trust it.

01:25And it whooshes past Livakovic into the back of the net.

01:29Leather lunged midfield player.

01:34Livaya!

01:37Bojan's first big save.

01:39They've got the three on two in there.

01:41Croatia and they're giving Canada serious issues in there.

01:44Kovacic.

01:48Kramic has taken up an interesting position and scores!

01:52And there's no doubt this time!

01:54Pressure building.

01:59Pressure rewarded.

02:01And relief all around the ground for those bedecked in the red and white of Croatia.

02:07And he just watches it onto that left foot.

02:11And just hits that right into the far corner.

02:13Lovely finish.

02:14Buccaneering burst.

02:19Only briefly curtailed.

02:20And a chance.

02:21And taken by Livaya!

02:25Lethal!

02:27From the split superstar!

02:32Hits it through and pretty sweet.

02:35And Bojan's got no chance.

02:36That's always going beyond him.

02:38Before he really gets an opportunity to put that big frame on it.

02:44Rozovic.

02:47Into Modric.

02:51Kramaric!

02:52Oh!

02:53And Bojan produces a save that keeps Canada alive!

02:57Great stop.

03:00That last moment.

03:01His goalkeeper might not have been out of the top draw.

03:04That's much better.

03:08Facing up Hoylet.

03:10And delivering across.

03:12Which was made to measure.

03:13And it's put in by Kramaric.

03:16Victory sealed!

03:18It's absolutely perfect.

03:20I get a little bit of good fortune.

03:22As it rolls through Hutchinson's legs.

03:26But again, the strike is accurate.

03:28The goal.

03:29Played by Pekovic.

03:34And a mistake by Miller.

03:37And Orsic.

03:39Tees it up.

03:41And it is four for Croatia.

03:45The finishing touch applied by Lovro Maia.

03:47And the supporting cast having their moment in the spotlight.

03:51And the final whistle blows.

03:56The final whistle on meaningful World Cup action for Canada.

03:59They have beaten Canada here.

04:00They have beaten Canada here.

04:01It's finished Croatia four.

04:02Canada one.

04:03That's two for pagans.

04:04Too High.

04:05There we go.

04:06Good
