12 October 2018

The match was played behind closed doors, a punishment handed down by UEFA following racist chanting by Croation supporters in a previous match against Italy. A small group of English supporters had travelled to Rijeka in the hope of getting in but had to be content with watching from a nearby hillside. Their faint chanting could occasionally be heard in the otherwise eerily silent stadium.

Spain twice came back from being a goal down and with the scores level after 90 minutes they looked sure to finish on top of the group table.

Whoever won this match would go through to the finals whereas a draw would allow Spain to qualify. English nerves were on edge when Kramarić crashed home the opening goal after dwelling on the ball in the penalty area for an age. Late goals from Lingard and Kane, both scored from close in, meant England had booked a place in Portugal next summer.
