There is plenty of action left tonight, though, with France's clash against Switzerland only a few minutes away. France can book a quarterfinal berth against Luis Enrique's free-scoring Spain tonight, but they will have to get past Shaqiri and co. first. Over to my colleague Vishal Subramanian, who's covering another game that promises to be a blockbuster. Catch all the live updates here:

As for me, I'll be heading along to my television set - without my laptop this time - to sit down and breathe as France look to do their part. This is Aditya Hosangadi signing off with a cheer - have an excellent night!
As for Croatia, this defeat will be a bitter pill to swallow, but they can take plenty of heart from an extraordinary performance. We may never see Luka Modric at the Euros again, but the veteran midfielder displayed his class in those ten inspired minutes where Croatia had Spain in a stranglehold.
The plaudits, however, belong to Luis Enrique's men - they looked down and out after that own goal but both Pedri and Unai Simon dusted themselves off and made excellent contributions. Enrique won a tactical battle tonight, and Spain's sharpness holds them in good stead ahead of a tough schedule.
A bizarre own goal left Spain reeling in the first half, but an impressive comeback saw La Roja on course to a victory within 90 minutes.
A cult classic in Copenhagen.
WE'RE HEADING INTO EXTRA TIME!
Spain take their time with this change, they need to slow things down here.
It's the substitute, Orsic!
Croatia are starting to lose their temper here.
An attacking change, Croatia do not have much time left.
If Croatia do manage to claw their way back into this and win, the Inter Milan man will be suspended for the quarterfinals.
Spain are not happy with the officials - Gvardiol was offside by a few yards there and the whistle was as late as can possibly be.
Croatia kick things off from left to right.
Croatia 1-1 Spain (Pedri 20' OG; Pablo Sarabia 38')
Spain are beginning to feel the heat here..
Pedri plays the ball back towards goal and Simon, who has had nothing to do so far, inexplicably fails to bring the ball under control. 1-0 Croatia!
Spain get things started, attacking from left to right.

Only Spain's midfield remains intact - Pedri, Busquets, and Koke cover all the bases there are to cover in a midfield unit. Spain like to pass, and pass, and pass - the only difference today is that they face a team whose set-up is not too different from their own.
Modric, Brozovic, and Kovacic make up a formidable midfield that can go toe-to-toe with Spain's maestros, and maybe even outclass them tonight. Nikola Vlasic keeps his place after finding the back of the net against the Scots, and will partner Petkovic and Rebic up front for Croatia.
