Czech Republic vs Croatia
The match ended in a 2-2 draw as Ivan Perisic and Ivan Rakitic had given Croatia the lead, but the Czechs equalised through Milan Skoda's header before Tomas Necid scored in a penalty for handball in the 93rd minute. The match was stopped in the 86th minute when flares from the Croatia side rained down onto the pitch where a steward was reported to be injured by one of the fireworks thrown during the five minutes in which the match was stopped. The Croatia team could be punished further by Uefa for the fan violence.
Croatia just need one point in their final game against Spain will see themselves through to the last 16, and the Czech Republic will advance with a win over Turkey.
