I thought Denmark shaded it over 120 minutes to be honest.
However, their player should have been shown a red for the pen, which robbed Croatia of a fair goal, and it was probably a retake for Schemical leaving his line. So in those terms, you can't really argue with Croatia edging it in the end.
Modric was the best player on the pitch, and showed great heart taking a second pen. Eriksen wasn't far behind him, and it's a bummer he missed, but he won't be affected by it long term. It's just not the way he's built. He'll be fine.
