Player of the Match: Luka Modrić (Croatia)

Ozan Tufan missed the only big Turkish chance in the entire game when he headed Subašić in the 29th minute. The otherwise dominant Croatians took the lead before the break thanks to a long-range shot from Modrić. In the second half, Croatia failed to score despite numerous very good opportunities.

100th international match by David Silva

Player of the Match: Andrés Iniesta (Spain)

Spain were the superior team throughout the game, but for a long time found no means against the very defensive Czechs. Only in the closing stages did Piqué head a cross from Iniesta for the winning goal. Spain was the fourth defending champion after the Soviet Union ( 1964 ), Germany ( 1976 ) and France ( 2004 ) to win their opening game.
