00:00So, Croatia semi-finalists in their debut World Cup Finals just 8 years ago
00:05But the Xucas, the Prozineckis, Jarnis and Stimatches have all gone
00:09Replaced by this generation, which includes the 21-year-old son of coach Zlako Kranca, Niko
00:16Already dubbed the Croatian Zidane
00:18Croatia rarely vary from a 3-4-1-2 formation
00:23In which Kranca plays in the hole behind the strikers Ivica Oric and Dado Perso
00:30Now we have a look at the Australian side and given that they've never won a match at the World Cup Finals until 6 days ago
00:43It can safely be said this is the ruse best ever showing
00:46They may only need a draw tonight to walk hand-in-hand with Brazil into the last 16
00:51Which would be a stupendous feat
00:53Master tactician Guus Hidink is set to match Croatia man for man
00:57That means vital roles in the line-up for Tim Cahill in the middle of the four-man midfield
01:02Hamiles Daryovski, again preferred to Mark Bresiano
01:07Croatian coach Zlatko Kranca, 49-year-old former international player
01:12Can he match the tactics of Guus Hidink?
01:16The only man to take two different countries to the semi-finals of the World Cup
01:21And now we do have a proper start
01:25Is now poised and in front of him a six-man Australian wall
01:36Can Croatia find their first goal of the World Cup Finals as early as the third minute here?
01:44That's what they're aiming for, it is through!
01:49They certainly can!
01:50It was magnificently struck by Dario Serna
01:54What a start for Croatia!
01:56What a start for Zlatko Kranca
01:59And what a start for Dario Serna
02:01Kalac, the replacement goalkeeper, beaten already
02:06And although Hidink applause, he's trying to rally his men
02:09He's not saluting the Croatian goal as all those in red and white are
02:18One of the best free kicks struck at these World Cup Finals
02:21By the man from Shakhtar Donetsk
02:23A curler into the top corner to beat the six foot seven figure of Kalac
02:28Brilliantly struck, beautifully placed
02:31And he had been working on his set plays
02:33Dario Serna with his tenth goal for Croatia
02:41And this cross there, that really was a magnificent pass
02:44And they're queuing up here
02:45Viduka trying to turn, down he will go
02:47Referee Poz not going to give a penalty
02:49He's going to give a goal kick for this
02:52Nothing doing for Mark Viduka
02:54The replays will be interesting in this
02:57There's certainly an arm around him there
02:59From the defender Simonic
03:01He looks to have grabbed at him
03:03And Viduka
03:05Gave up on it because he'd been held
03:08Well
03:10And now he's got more space than he probably realises
03:12And hurries the cross
03:16Took the deflection
03:17And out for the corner kick
03:20Second, it will be swung in by Chipperfield
03:23And all the way through
03:25And the next effort that's lashed in by Stijovski
03:27Is blocked as well
03:29But Croatia at full stretch defending their lines here
03:32Might still be something for the Aussies
03:34But it's bounced up and harmlessly into the end
03:36To roll it out, it's rare he kicks the ball
03:38Calaccio of course plays at AC Milan
03:41But he's understood it to the Brazilian goalkeeper Dida there
03:44So he doesn't get much action
03:47And he may have been a little surprised to get the call tonight
03:49To take the place of Mark Schwartzer
03:52It's opened up here for Jason Kalina
03:54He'll have the chance of the shot
03:56Well he curses himself
04:00And his own profligacy
04:02So he's made the position very well
04:04That's sliced it
04:06You can see it's swerving
04:07And let's talk about this ball swerving
04:09It's the
04:11Can Everton be clever here with a cross
04:14It's not a bad looking one
04:15It's not a bad looking one
04:16And there's a shout for a penalty
04:18And it's going to be given by a referee pole
04:21They have the spot kick this time
04:23They had a shout earlier
04:25And Stepien Thomas
04:27I don't think he's going to complain
04:29It's a handball
04:30We saw two last evening
04:32From the Serbia and Montenegro defender
04:35And that's a touch of déjà vu
04:38Australia with a chance to draw level
04:40And Thomas, the Galatasaray defender
04:42Did not complain
04:44Significantly
04:46Australia
04:47Can bring themselves level
04:49In this World Cup Finals tie
04:51Here
04:52And there is also a yellow card as well
04:58For the complaint
04:59By Igor Tudor
05:01Who is out of the next game
05:02But much more importantly
05:04It looks as though
05:05Craig Moore is going to take the responsibility here
05:08For Australia
05:12Cahill being urged to stay out
05:13Outside the 18 yard area
05:15Craig Moore
05:16A defender
05:17Strikes the goal
05:19That brings the Greenland goal level
05:21They will be roaring back in Melbourne
05:26In Sydney
05:27In Perth
05:28In Canberra
05:29It's 1-1 here
05:30And Craig Moore
05:31Who's only ever scored two international goals
05:34Two international goals
05:35Here the two
05:36Gets his third
05:37In a World Cup Finals match
05:3911 years on from making his Australian debut
05:44Craig Moore strikes the goal of his life
05:46Smack down the centre
05:48Pletikosa
05:50Had gone to his left
05:51The ball went to his right
05:53Into the net
05:54It's Croatia 1
05:55Australia 1
05:56On 38 minutes
06:00Penalties in their careers to date
06:02The Croatian goal scorer takes their corner here
06:06Six minutes before half time
06:08It's a pull
06:10Oh
06:11Calac nearly dropped it into his own net
06:13Well a few hearts will have stopped beating there in Australia as well
06:18Terrible moment for the goalkeeper
06:23Look at this
06:24He dropped
06:25He fumbles it down towards his own goal
06:27Alright
06:28There were people
06:29Australia always have numbers in the box
06:32As they do now
06:33Cahill went for the overhead
06:35The spectacular
06:36Didn't happen
06:37But he's in there all the time
06:38It's Tim Cahill
06:41He already has ten international goals
06:43In his previous 16 appearances
06:45And he wouldn't put it past him
06:47To getting on to number 11 tonight
06:50Blocked off so he supplies to Chipperfield
06:52Oh
06:55Twisting and turning the defender
06:57Chance here of another Australian goal
06:59But the header
07:00From Viduka
07:01Can't beat the goalkeeper Pleti Kosa
07:04Good delivery from Chipperfield though
07:06Who has the record number of assists in the Swiss league
07:09That's a statistic the Americans will love
07:11Per show
07:12Big chance for Croatia
07:14Which happened within about 15 seconds
07:16Of Viduka's header
07:17At the other end of the field
07:19This is how it happened as well
07:21He got the better of Craig Moore
07:23Just found the angle a bit too acute
07:25Dado Per show
07:30What a very attractive game of football
07:34Both sides clearly capable of scoring goals
07:36In Cule will look to tee something up for Australia here
07:39It's been enterprising stuff
07:43But as we surely come to the interval it will be 1-1 at the break
07:51Less than 15 seconds remain
07:54And the players will be ready for a break as well
08:08It's by no means a hot evening though
08:11Like some of them have been
08:13It's quite cool actually here in Stuttgart tonight
08:15And that will do says referee Paul
08:18Away you go to the dressing rooms
08:19Much to think about for coaches Cancha and Hiddink
08:24Craig Moore's penalty for Australia
08:26Coming seven minutes before half-time
08:29Cancelled out the early free kick from Dario Cerner
08:33Which had threatened to give Croatia victory
08:35And that was the spot kick from Moore
08:37Which had the...
08:38And away we go for the last 45 minutes
08:40Of course it's through to the knockout stages after this
08:43So the potential for penalty kicks
08:46But for the moment it's 1-1 in this game
08:51And Croatia who started like a train in the first half
08:54Looked to start like a train in the second with a three-kicked one
08:57He got two doors
09:02Babic
09:05And then prodded forward
09:08Crowd roar every time they think there might be a shot on
09:10And there is a shot on here
09:11Oh, what a mistake made by the goalkeeper
09:15Niko Kovac
09:18Restores the lead for Croatia
09:20But horror for goalkeeper Kalac
09:23The one who's been brought in for Mark Swartzer tonight
09:27His mind will be racing
09:29Croatia are racing into the lead
09:32By two goals to one
09:36And the boy who used to play in Berlin
09:39Born in Berlin
09:40But plays for Croatia
09:42As embarrassed
09:44Zeljko Kalac
09:45The goalkeeper of Australia
09:47And Guz Hidink
09:48Doesn't know which way to look
09:51Neither did the goalkeeper
09:52It's a horror show for him
09:54No goalkeeper on earth should be beaten by that
09:59Kovac's shot scuds across the turf
10:01And it's a fumble that he'll never forget
10:06Croatia 2
10:08Australia 1
10:09And the Socceroos are silenced
10:11And I wonder why the Australians are in the centre
10:16It doesn't get to any of them
10:18But they're still ganging up around here
10:20With Kewle
10:21Chipping one in
10:22Viduka
10:23Whistle
10:24Whistle and flag together
10:26Offside verdict
10:29Offside verdict
10:30Mark Viduka
10:31Good decision as well
10:32As Kewle played that ball
10:34It wasn't Viduka
10:35It was Cahill just coming back
10:37But I wonder if this is the night where Australia are going to
10:44Will be Staryovski off
10:46And the newcomer will be Bresciano
10:52Mark Bresciano another who plays in Italy
10:54With the Parma club
10:57Alongside Grela
10:59And he does get important goals
11:01Well there could be no more important goal than one tonight
11:07And it's Aish
11:09Oh my goodness gracious me
11:12Harry Kewle simply cannot believe it
11:14How that chance appeared from nothing from the throw in there
11:18It's Kewle who's driven through the centre
11:21Right on the penalty spot I would suggest virtually
11:24And flinging his hands over the bar
11:26Australia's corner
11:28Nonetheless they're all up for this one
11:30It'll drop for Kewle
11:31It's hooked away from just in front of the line by Serna
11:35Croatia really having to concentrate on defending here
11:40With 19 minutes to go
11:42Bresciano across to do
11:44To take another corner
11:47The pressure will be intense
11:48There's no extra time remember this evening
11:50And a draw may be good enough for Australia
11:52But they want another goal
11:56Headed back to Bresciano
11:58He'll smack it in
11:59Hard and low
12:00Oh!
12:01Has that gone over the line?
12:02I'm not sure
12:03I don't think the referee's going to give it is he?
12:06I'm convinced he's not going to give a goal here
12:09He's going to separate the bodies once and for all
12:14Pleticotta may be hurt as well
12:19That's going to be an interesting replay when we see it
12:21Focus on referee's assistant Phil Sharp here
12:26Well it's a huge one this
12:30We're forever calling for
12:33The technology which shows whether a ball has ever crossed the line or not
12:37Well Pleticotta's got the ball in his hands there
12:40Falls on it there
12:42Keeps it beneath his body
12:44And the body's absolutely everywhere
12:47It's like a tag wrestling match
12:51But he'll be hoping the others can do the business to carry Australia
12:54Through into the last 16
12:57Remains to be seen
13:00Trying to conjure up a goal here will be Bresciano
13:03With a free kick with at least seven Australians in there
13:06Trying to be on the end of this one
13:10Corner
13:11There's a shout for a handball, a big shout from the Australians
13:15They've already had one penalty for a handball
13:17What happens here?
13:18Well
13:20He was certainly playing a dangerous game was Tomas
13:24He seems to go up every time with his fist
13:28Did it in the first half
13:29Just like the Serbia and Montenegro defender last night
13:33Extraordinary stuff
13:34Australia feel they deserve another goal
13:36And of course it's a very similar scenario to last evening
13:41Where
13:43Coq Divois did find two late goals
13:45Oh
13:46Peixot
13:47He'll find himself one on one here
13:49Can he take on the man all the way?
13:51Oh he's having to hold it up
13:53He didn't have the pace
13:55Showed again the poor fella's got to do all the running
13:58But he simply is not a player built for pace
14:01He's built for power
14:02They lift one across here
14:04They're almost queuing up
14:06Long range effort
14:07Surely this one won't beat Kalach
14:09And the Australians cheer
14:11As he deals with Modric's effort from 25 year old
14:14There'll be such a celebration if they do
14:16And here's a moment for them
14:18Chance surely
14:19Goal number two
14:20Harry Kuehl
14:21Harry Kuehl is the name
14:22He got the goals against Iran in the World Cup qualifiers all those years ago
14:31When the Australians didn't make it to the finals
14:34They've made it now
14:36And he has his first goal of the calendar year for the Roos
14:40Harry Kuehl brings Stuttgart alight
14:43It's 2-2
14:45And maybe the Socceroos are on their way into the last 16
14:52They simply have to get a break sometime
14:55And when they got one
14:57Harry Kuehl was there to take it
15:00Bresciano's ball on
15:02There's the flick I think from Cahill
15:04And Kuehl on the edge of the six yard area
15:09Rams it hard and low
15:11Wide and plenty Kossa
15:132-2 is the scoreline
15:20Well he's been wrapped by injuries and misery for two years as Kuehl
15:25But this is a moment of joy
15:28For player, for coach, for fans alike
15:31And they're back on track
15:32Back on track
15:35And if you're still hearing me down in those bars in Melbourne
15:38I bet you're celebrating
15:4411 minutes to go
15:4611 very very tense and nervous minutes for these two nations
15:50As they go seeking the victory that would surely guarantee their progression
15:55Both of them remember
15:59Gresciano's made an impact as a substitute
16:02The ball is for Kuehl
16:05Kuehl the Australian hero again
16:08Down he goes
16:10Chopped down
16:12And I think it's going to be another yellow card
16:15Oh!
16:17And a hand laid on the official
16:18And...
16:20Oh!
16:21He's going to be in real trouble here
16:23It's a red!
16:28Well they were surrounding referee Paul
16:30Both Niko Kovac and Dario Serna
16:37And he's off
16:39Serna for two yellow cards
16:41Sees red
16:43We've had so much drama in the last few evenings in this World Cup
16:49You wonder where it's going to end
16:51Well that's all messy
16:53Scrappy messy
16:55And they took the free kick and hit it straight at the opposition
16:57The Australians have gifted the ball back to Croatia here
17:00And they're four or five around the area
17:02The ball is hooked to safety for the moment
17:05Viduka surely will hold it up
17:07Drag to the ground
17:09Oh dear dear dear
17:11This is getting very silly
17:12And this might be you-know-what
17:16Another one
17:18It's a yellow card
17:20For Sibiric
17:22He's got to go
17:24It's a second yellow for him as well
17:26And...
17:28Croatia
17:31Well I thought she...
17:33Can...
17:35Can...
17:37Can...
17:39Can...
17:41Can...
17:42Croatia find a dramatic winner
17:45Which will keep them in the competition
17:47The three building around the edge of the area here
17:50The shot
17:52Agonisingly wide
17:55Deflected from Modric's effort
17:57A very very nervous Australian goalkeeper
18:05It's into the danger area
18:07Oh he's dropped it
18:09Oh he's lost it completely
18:11And back it will come again
18:13It's bobbling around all over there
18:15Such drama here in Stuttgart
18:17As Croatia try to force the winner
18:20Try to stay alive in the World Cup
18:22Australia or Croatia
18:24Where's your money going right now?
18:26It's away once again and not very far away
18:28Far away
18:29Cerner
18:32Bresciano comes back and fouls it
18:35No he's fouled
18:36Oh Australia
18:38Their arms are raised in triumph as though they've won it already
18:42And what a triumph it will be for Gus Hiddink as well
18:46The man who steered Korea into the semi-finals four years ago
18:49The man who took Holland, the Netherlands into the semi-finals
18:52In 1998
18:54Is close to taking Australia
18:56The green and gold
18:58Into the second phase
19:04We've got two balls on the field at the moment
19:07Well it's a very confusing end to the night here
19:10And I don't think Niko Kovac knows what's going on either
19:13Well everybody's very confused down there
19:21The throwing has been given Australia's way
19:30There'll be such a roar if Australia do finally win this one
19:33And they might clinch it here
19:35The ball is in the net but I don't think it's a goal
19:37It may just be that referee Paul had blown the final whistle anyway
19:40I think he has, it's all over but
19:44What a strange way for this game to end
19:48I'm pretty sure we've had the final whistle
19:50And, well he's definitely off now
19:52I thought Sinovich was off anyway
19:54He certainly is now
19:56That confirms it once and for all
19:58And it confirms that Australia
20:01Amazingly the Socceroos
20:04Have got the draw
20:06Which is going to take them into the last 16
20:08An amazing game
20:11With so many talking points again
20:14But Australia coming
20:16With that second goal
20:18Through Harry Kewle
20:20Have done enough
20:21Here's a couple of questions
20:22Not just a little bit of a thumbnail
20:24And this thing is going to take you over and see
20:26So we can get a lot of answers
20:27And see what we're doing
20:29What are you doing here
20:30I think we're going to take you over and see
20:32That's a good point
20:35We're going to keep going and see
20:37How much fun
20:40Has that been happening
20:42If you're going to pick it up
20:43Here's an amazing cue
20:46Whereas a big one
