The final whistle is blown. Croatia have taken a massive step to UEFA EURO 2012 with a terrific disciplined performance in Turkey. Rock solid in defence and deadly on the counter Turkey had no answer and will need something very special to turn things around in Zagreb on Tuesday.

Olić (Croatia) scores! What a start for Croatia! A free-kick is taken quickly on the left Vedran Ćorluka gets to the dead-ball line and fires the ball across the goal. Goalkeeper Volkan Demirel can not cut out the cross and the FC Bayern München man taps in from close.
