Kane had a penalty saved by Livakovic in the 9th, but VAR sent it back for a retake and he buried the second attempt in the 12th to put England ahead. Croatia answered in the 36th — Baturina drilling one in from outside the box off a Sucic assist — but Kane restored the lead seven minutes later, heading home a Rice corner. Croatia weren't done: Musa equalized right at the end of the first half, finishing off a Perisic flick to make it 2-2 at the break. England came flying out of the tunnel and retook the lead almost immediately — Bellingham finishing an Elliot Anderson pass in the 47th. Then Livakovic went into overdrive, denying Bellingham, Rice, O'Reilly, Gordon, Konsa and Kane in a frantic spell either side of the hour mark to somehow keep it at 3-2. England finally killed it off in the 85th, Rashford tucking away a Saka assist for the fourth. Pickford did his bit too, saving from Pasalic and Matanovic late on. Eight goals, a retaken penalty, and one of the great goalkeeping performances on the losing side — Livakovic finished with 7 saves but it wasn't enough.
