Ivan Perisic is on fire for Croatia.
After an unfortunate own goal from Mario Mandzukic in the 18th minute, a slick move 10 minutes later was finished off by a left-footed rocket from Perisic to equalise Sunday's World Cup final for the underdog Croatians.
Perisic, who also found the net in the semi-final win over England, has now scored five times in his World Cup career. He's one tally behind legendary striker Davor Suker for most in the nation's history at the tournament.

The excitement was short-lived, though, as Perisic was called for a handball inside the area later in the half, which led to Antoine Griezmann converting from the spot.
