The scorer is Raheem Sterling, who found himself in the center of the penalty area. He was able to hit the net after a Calvin Phillips pass.
In general, the game from both sides looked like a "warm-up" before a long tournament. Neither the British nor the vice-world champions of the Croatians turned on their full strength and abilities, but the former looked still fresher and younger than their age rival, whose main violin is still played by 35-year-old Modric.
By the way, in the 70th minute, midfielder of Moscow CSKA Nikola Vlasic entered the field as part of the Croats, who replaced Marcelo Brozovic.
In the next round, the British will face the Scots, and the Croats will face the Czechs. The matches will take place on June 18.
Meanwhile, the Russian team managed to set an anti-record of the tournament in its very first match in the European championship. The result of yesterday's match between the Russian national team and the Belgian national team turned out to be the biggest loss of a home team in the history of Euro 2020.
