00:03It's time for the first time, but it's time for the first time.
00:07Established pedigree meets underdog spirit.
00:10This is Giovanni Ramos.
00:16Down goes Christian Martinez.
00:19Taking a while to work out how they're going to work this free kick.
00:25Opportunity might present itself here.
00:28Rodriguez charging onto it as well, but it's just tucked away.
00:31He's had spells managing in club football in Cyprus, England and Belgium.
00:39Panama flying forwards.
00:42Those are the kind of moments that came and went the other night here against Ghana for Panama.
00:46They want to make them count today.
00:49Here's Martinez leading the charge.
00:53And in the end it was a routine claim for Livakovic with a few in the middle just wondering.
00:59Back in organizational mode.
01:02Martinez looking for Morizio this time. It's going to hold up for him, is it?
01:06Just about. Really good chance. Stunning save.
01:11It seemed a goal all ends up.
01:16And Livakovic just clawed it onto the crossbar.
01:23Astonishingly close.
01:24That was brilliant by Panama and this is what we saw against Ghana and they didn't take their chances.
01:28And this is exactly the same scenario.
01:34Gotorina.
01:35Found some room for the shot.
01:36It was well worth having a go.
01:42Half time.
01:44And in terms of attacking intent, not an awful lot to discuss really, but plenty going on in the middle
01:49of the park.
01:49It's like a very competitive game.
01:53And as we restart, Panama are 45 minutes away from their first ever World Cup point.
02:00Various factors used to determine who should go through.
02:04Head-to-head record being key.
02:07Here go Croatia.
02:08Whipped across and in!
02:15Budimir!
02:17Bounces off the bench.
02:21And the Croatian class comes to the fore.
02:32After all their work rate from the first half, Panama are undone.
02:37And it's the substitute who makes the difference.
02:43Who will now gallop in the other direction.
02:45And Modric plays it through.
02:47It's Pasalic here.
02:50One on one!
02:52Still there for him!
02:54We've also seen substitutes come to the fore.
02:56140 goals scored at this World Cup Finals now.
02:5928 of those from players who started the match on the bench.
03:04Keeps it alive.
03:05Keeps it moving.
03:06Mauricio.
03:07Barcenas.
03:09Trying to slalom his way through.
03:11Mauricio hits it!
03:12And again!
03:14And Livakovic equal to both.
03:16After these efforts from Panama.
03:18Yeah, this was really good.
03:19It's not a shot you would expect a goalkeeper of his quality.
03:22Sees it all the way.
03:23That's a good save there.
03:25Pushes it out to a wide position and then palms it brilliantly out for a corner into safety.
03:30Good goalkeeping.
03:32Really good goalkeeping.
03:36And then this brilliant little tip here.
03:39From a good header.
03:41Tight positions get a chance on goal.
03:43Oh and Harvey's header!
03:44Yeah!
03:45And Livakovic again!
03:52Here's Waterman.
03:53Rodriguez.
03:56Fighting together to try and make something happen.
03:59Sliding challenge from Suchic is punished with a yellow card.
04:05And they'll be queuing up to hit this.
04:08Yeah, it's a good position.
04:09I think Suchic has a little bit of unfortunate catchism.
04:13We've had the five added minutes.
04:16And we've got the whistle.
04:19Croatia are up and running.
04:22And are into contention in Group L.
04:25Once again at these World Cup finals.
