Final whistle
FT The referee has signalled for full time and truth be told, both sides should be happy with a draw. It was a game that lacked in quality save for a few moments. Schick continues to be his side's only source of offense, but the victory on the first matchday means the Czechs likely advance.
Croatia have work to do. They offered very little in the final third and depending on the outcome of England vs Scotland, may need to claim all three points from the Scots. They have enough quality in their side to do so, but haven't shown it so far.
That's all from me for now. I hope you enjoyed this one. I will be back for the heavyweight clash between Portugal and Germany tomorrow. Until then, this is John Lupo signing off.
Final chance
90'+2 Petkovic wins a free-kick wide on the right after being fouled by Adam Hlozeck. The 18-year-old gets booked for his troubles. Luka Modric’s free-kick is headed away by Kral and that’s it at Hampden Park.
Change for both teams
87' Antonin Barak on for Darida. Croatia substitute Marcelo Brozovic for Kovacic.
Not much action at the moment
81' It really has slowed down, hasn't it? Gvardiol pulls back from the byline, which is comfortably smothered by Vaclik.
Double change for the Czech Republic
74' Petr Sevcik and Michael Krmencik come on for Jankto and Schick.
How did he miss?!
72' In the Czech penalty area, Niko Vlasic is teed up by a downward header but swivels and sends the ball wide of the far post. The goal was there for the taking.
Czech Republic see off the danger
71' Celustka cuts out a cross from Gvardiol.
Substitutions on both sides
62' Croatia bring on Nikola Vlasic for Kramaric.
Meanwhile the Czech Republic will introduce Adam Hlozek and Alex Kral on for Masopust and Tomas Holes.
Czechs miss a chance
60' Vrsalkjo is penalized for a late challenge and the Czech Republic have a free-kick on the area between the left side of the Croatian penalty area and the touchline. The free-kick is aimed towards Soucek, but Petkovic rises to put it out for a corner. Shick heads the ensuing inswinger high over the bar.
Croatia more aggressive
58' The introduction of Petkovic and Ivanusec has really made a difference. Meanwhile, Kramaric has his shot from just inside the Czech penalty area blocked.
Croatia defense standing tall
56' Jankto gets free down the inside left again, but his cross is cleared. The ball comes back his way and he stands it up at the far post. Schick’s downward header is cleared and a subsequent shot on the follow-up is blocked.
Czech Republic yellow card
51' Masopust is booked for a late challenge on Josko Gvardiol.
Double change for Croatia
49' Those two aforementioned changes by Croatia are Bruno Petkovic and Luka Ivanusec on for Rebic and midfielder Josip Brekalo.
Croatia level!
GOAL! 47' And just like that, after making two substitutions, Croatia have restored parity! A brilliant solo effort by Perisic as he cuts inside from the left wing and unleashes a shot from the corner of the penalty area. The ball whizzes past Vaclik and into the back of the net!
Second half starts
We are back underway here in Glasgow. Let's see what the second half has in store for us.
Halftime
HT A pretty tepid affair so far even if both teams have had one or two nice passages of play. The decision to award the Czech Republic a penalty still looks to be a bad one and it's with that in mind that Croatia will need to battle back from.
We'll be back shortly with the second half.
Schick goes over
45'+3 Mateo Kovacic fouls Schick on the edge of his own penalty area, but he blasts the ball over the bar just a little to the left from the ensuing free-kick.
Croatia nearly level!
41' Rebic is put in behind, taking a touch and then slicing the ball wide with a very poor left-footed effort. He should have done much, much better.
Why the penalty was given
38' Schick and Lovren were contesting a high ball in the Croatian penalty area. Lovren had eyes only for the ball but he caught Schick with an elbow to the face. It was a complete accident but upon being referred to his pitchside monitor by his Video Assistant Referee, the referee decided to award a penalty.
Czech Republic take the lead!
GOAL! 37' Referee Carlos Del Cerra Grande awards what looks to be a ridiculous penalty and Schick, who scored maybe the goal of the tournament against Scotland, converts.
Injury timeout
33' There’s a break in play as Patrik Schick receives treatment for a bloody nose after what looked like an accidental arm to the face from Dejan Lovren.
Croatia starting to find their range
23' A well-worked corner from the Croats ends with Perisic finding a pocket of space outside the Czech penalty area. He shoots straight at Vaclik, who catches the ball comfortably, but it's a signal of intent.
Half a chance for Croatia?
20' Rebic and Vaclik sprint towards each other to contest a 50-50 ball after the latter was sold short by a bad back-pass. The goalkeeper wins the race to the ball but his clearance is blocked by the Croatia striker. The ball loops up in the air and sails wide.
What a chance!
18' The Czechs waste a wonderful scoring opportunity, with Jankto drilling another cross from the left across the face of the six-yard box. There’s nobody on hand to convert it and the ball runs to Coufal, who picks out Schick on the edge of the six-yard box. The striker loses his footing and scuffs a weak shot wide.
Wasted chance for the Czechs
12' Well-worked sequence by the Czech Republic as Coufal and Masopust combine down the right and the West Ham sends a cross in for Lovren heads unconvincingly towards Jankto, who blasts the ball high and wide on the volley.
Croatia poor so far
10' Croatia win a free-kick from about 35 yards out, but Dejan Lovren sends the ball high over the defensive wall and crossbar.
Missed chance for Croatia
6' Perisic does well to get a cross in from the right. Czech goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik pretty much misses the ball but Rebic is unable to take advantage of it.
Czechs keep up the pressure
4' From a corner, Soucek loops a header over the bar. They're looking likely very early on here.
Good early pressure from the Czechs
2' Jankto gets in an early cross that Vida clears away. Coufal sees the ball drop to him inside the penalty area, but his effort is blocked.
