FT: Croatia 4-0 Cameroon. The Croats are still alive and meet Mexico in their final match of Group A to decide if they will make the last 16 or not. Cameroon go home.
Two minutes added.
Eduardo booked.
OFF THE BAR! Webo crashes a header into the ground and onto the bar from Assou-Ekotto's left-wing cross.
Cameroon still pushing for that goal... but it's leaving gaps at the back. Rebic plays in Rakitic in the area, who dinks it past Itandje but can't get to the ball to put it in.
Rebic shoots from the left of the area... saved by Itandje. One for the cameras there.
So it's going to be the fifth World Cup in a row Cameroon go out in the group stage.
Moukandjo for the consolation... oooh, just wide of the far post. He collapses to the turf in disappointment.
History-maker.
Eduardo is desperate to get in on the act but delays his shot and is crowded out. Snra follows up but crashes his attempt into a cluster of Cameroon defenders. The Africans are living dangerously.
Itandje gets away with a header outside his area as Rebic can't quite make the most of the loose ball on the egde of the area.
Clinical. Perhaps there's still time for a hat-trick?
A Cameroon corner on the right is nodded away for a corner. Can they snare a consolation? Mbia rises at the near post but can't direct his header on target.
CROATIA sub: The superb Perisic off, Ante Rebic on.
Cameroon going through the motions. Sadly for them, it doesn't look the scoring is finished.
CAMEROON sub: Choupo-Moting off, Edgar Salli on.
That's Mandzukic's 15ht international goal (courtesy of Squawka).
GOAL! Mandzukic makes it four with a simple tap-in after Itandje spilled a low shot from the right by Eduardo.
CROATIA sub: Sammir off, Mateo Kovacic on.
