At the Parken stadium on Monday, Croatia will take on Spain with a place in the quarterfinal up for grabs. In the group stages, the two teams started slowly but picked up the pace as time went on.
Spain ended the group stages with a comprehensive 5-0 victory over Slovakia whilst Croatia beat Scotland by three goals to one.
Both sides have immense individual quality and fans will hope all that quality comes to light.
Game set to go into extra time
