The Washington Post reports:
Croatia advanced to its first World Cup final by joining Argentina (1990) as the only teams to win a semifinal match they trailed at halftime. Croatia fell behind on Kieran Trippier’s free kick in the fifth minute, but leveled the score on Ivan Perisic’s leaping, left-footed volley in the 68th minute. Mario Mandzukic scored the game-winner in extra time, a left-footed shot from the left side of the box that beat England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. England was looking to advance to its first World Cup final since 1966. Croatia will play France in Moscow on Sunday.
