Late goal gives Croatia 2-1 win over Iceland to maintain 100 percent record

Modric was rested in the 65th minute with Filip Bradaric replacing him as Iceland kept on working for an equalizer with Bjarnasson just failing to get enough on a cross from the right.

Iceland got a lifeline in the 75th minute after Dejan Lovren cut out a cross with his arm and Sigurdsson, who had missed a penalty against Nigeria four days earlier, stepped up to slam the ball home and level the score.

Needing to win to qualify for the next round Iceland threw men forward but were caught in the last minute of the game when Perisic scored a left-foot shot to mean Croatia qualify for the next stage with a 100 percent record.
