Other fan favourites like “Inati se, Slavonijo,” Moja Domovina” and “Oj Hrvatska mati” were also being belted out by the fans.

The Croatian sector for at Parken Stadium sold out in quick time when tickets went on sale on Thursday. Extra tickets were made available and around 5,000 Croatians are expected be there tomorrow night.

“Now it is much nicer than the first three games. This will be the first match at the Euro in front of a lot of our fans against a strong opponent. I hope that we will not disappoint them,” coach Zlatko Dalić said today.

The match kicks-off at 6 p.m.
