Mammarella (Italy) scores!
Wayne Harrison, Arena Zagreb: Croatia’s continued use of the flying goalkeeper tactic backfires as Italy No1 Stefano Mammarella collects a shot and immediately punts the ball down court into the unguarded net. Surely all over now.

Grcić (Croatia) scores!
Wayne Harrison, Arena Zagreb: The switch pays immediate dividends as Jakov Grcić, loitering at the far post, touches in a Josip Šuton cross.

Honorio (Italy) scores!
Wayne Harrison, Arena Zagreb: Humberto Honorio pounces on a stray Croatia pass, skips past one challenge and thumps the ball high into the net. Tihomir Novak is on in his normal role but it surely cannot be long before he replaces Ivo Jukić.

The referee blows for half-time.
Wayne Harrison, Arena Zagreb: Croatia ended the half strongly after another nightmare start. Both goalkeepers have been busy in the first 20 minutes, Ivo Jukić perhaps more so. The Azzurri are on course for bronze.

Saad (Italy) scores!
Wayne Harrison, Arena Zagreb: Like they did in the semi-final, Croatia concede in under a minute. Ivo Jukić had already denied Saad Assis and Alessandro Patias seconds earlier but he cannot do anything to keep out the former's low drive from outside the area.
