The second half of the game started quickly and the players on both sides returned to the stadium.

After midfield adjustment, the Croatian team was full of fighting spirit.

After falling behind in the first half, they didn't play very well, so they did a good job on the defensive end.

The offensive end puts much pressure on the Huaxia team. After adjustments from the head coach, they believe they can equalize the score.

After the second half of the game began, Croatia frequently passed high balls into the penalty area.

However, the Huaxia team has always done a very good job in defending high altitude balls.

At this time, Croatia got a chance to get a corner kick, and captain Modric was responsible for taking the penalty.

Modric came to the corner kick and carefully observed the position in the penalty area.

After running, he took a corner kick directly and the football flew into the penalty area.

He found the midpoint forward Mandzukic, but center back Chen Sika was in front of him.

If it is normal, Chen Xi will be the first to win football.

However, Mandzukic is indeed experienced. He first approached Chen Xi and then pressed his right hand on Chen Xi's back.

When Modric took the corner kick, he noticed that Chen Xi's center of gravity had lowered.

So he gently pushed his right hand forward, which made Chen Xi lose weight a little.

Mandzukic is too cunning. The reason he uses his right hand is because he can't see it from the referee's perspective.

And because it is too close to Chen Xi, it is probably difficult for the camera to notice.

Then Mandzukic jumped high, significantly higher than Chen Xi.

Then he pushed hard on the football, but goalkeeper Shan Wei reacted too quickly.

It bounced up instantly and then rushed to the football, successfully snatching the football out.

When Mandzukic saw that the ball was saved, he showed an incredible expression and then held his head with both hands.

Chen Xi seemed more angry and protested to the referee.

He told the referee about Mandzukic's foul and signaled that Mandzukic had a foul.

However, the referee did not respond and gave the Croatian team a corner kick.

At this time, the slow-motion replay before the playback begins, and you can see Chen Xi leaning forward strangely.

But from this angle, I couldn't see anything at all, so I played the slow motion replay again from the bottom line.

This time, we can see that Mandzukic did push someone with his hand, but his movements were relatively small.

"Oh~ Mandzukic is indeed pushing people!" Liu Jiayuan explained suddenly.

Before Chen Xi protested, he thought it was Chen Xi who was trying to get into the car.

Unexpectedly, Mandzukic really made a foul, which made many fans watching TV angry.

"But from the referee's perspective, it's hard to see Mandzukic's foul."

"Fortunately, there is a goalkeeper Shan Wei who saved the header at such a close distance."

"Single Wei has always performed well in this World Cup, and it's a thanks to Li Tie's trust in him."

Fortunately, the next corner kick failed to create a threat, and Croatia's offense failed.

Before we knew it, the second half also took place for a while and the 64th minute came.

Croatia launched an attack, and left back Strinic took the ball.

However, the Chinese team quickly pressed up, and in desperation he had no choice but to pass it back.

The pass was back to Rakitic who was receiving the ball, and Rakitic did not hesitate at all after receiving the pass.

Decisively and extensively transfer to find the right winger Lei Beach on the right.

His position was relatively empty at this time. After Wang Yuhao saw Lei Bichi take the ball, he rushed towards him.

His attention was indeed distracted before, and Rebic stepped on the football and made a little adjustment.

Then he directly made a cross, and the football drew an arc and flew into the penalty area.

Mandzukic, who was ahead, got stuck in the position because the football flew towards him.

Soon the central defender Qiao Guoli posted him, putting great pressure on Mandzukic.

In addition to Qiao Guoli, two Chinese players approached him, but the football in the air drew a strange arc.

Suddenly everyone realized that Mandzukic's position might be a bit ahead.

Mandzukic jumped high, but the football made an appointment from the top of his head.

Tao Jia, who was far from him, subconsciously looked towards the trajectory of the football.

Suddenly he found Perisic was near the landing point, and central defender Chen Xi was behind him.

Seeing this, Chen Xi wanted to go around and go around Perisic.

Of course, Perisic could not let Chen Xi go around and stuck Chen Xi behind him.

Then he pushed up to the falling football, and Chen Xi had no choice.

At this time, everyone's eyes widened, and Chinese fans prayed that Shan Wei would save the ball.

The goalkeeper Shan Wei quickly flew to save the ball, but he knew it might be difficult to get to the football.

Because of Perisic's header, he pushed the ball to the left of the goal.

Sure enough, he failed to dive into the football, and the football flew into the goal!

Croatia equalized 1-1!

When the football finally entered, Croatia suppressed the emotions of the half-court and released it.

Several commentators were quiet for a while, and the ball hit a lot.

"Croatia successfully equalized the score and brought the score back to 1-1." Liu Jiayuan said regretfully.

"The game has returned to the starting point, but the Chinese team still has hope."

"I hope the players can recover their emotions. Since they can enter one, why can't they enter the second one."

"This cross is of high quality because the strange arc has affected the judgment of Chinese players." Xu Yang continued to comment.

"After the second half, Croatia frequently took high balls." Cai Jian continued to comment.

"The Chinese team has been doing well in defending high-altitude balls before, but unfortunately, Croatia finally won the final victory."

"In the next game, the Chinese team should continue to be careful and prevent their high-altitude balls."

The fans didn't finish their cheers for a long time, they were so excited.

After waiting for so long, they finally tied the score.

After scoring the goal, Perisic was very excited. He rushed to the sidelines and then came a passionate slide.

Perisic accepted the cheers of all the fans like a hero.

Soon the teammates surrounded him and hugged Perisic excitedly.

Several Chinese players previously believed that they would defeat Croatia and rush to the World Cup final.

The lost ball hit them back to reality, and they looked at each other blankly.

The morale of the Chinese team was severely hit, and Lu Yunlong, who was the captain, quickly calmed down the morale of the team.

Soon the players recovered, and Cai Jian, who was commenting on the game, was very worried.

My previous predictions came true after all, and the Croatian team is indeed very powerful.

What he is worried about now is that they will take advantage of the goal and score another goal to overtake the score.
