A lively start from England.
Details: The opening minutes of the World Cup clash between England and Croatia delivered pure football drama for fans.
In the 9th minute, Luka Modric brought down Noni Madueke in the box, leaving referee Clément Turpin with no choice but to point to the spot.
England's main striker, Harry Kane, stepped up to take the penalty but failed to beat Livakovic on his first attempt. However, Turpin intervened once more. After a VAR review, it was determined that Croatia's goalkeeper had moved off his line before the shot, forcing a retake.
On his second attempt, Kane made no mistake and put England ahead.
