The Czechs briefly fought back when Ladislav Krejčí headed in from a corner in the 52nd minute to level the score, but their hopes were short-lived.
Just four minutes later, Croatia regained control when Luka Modrić calmly slotted home a penalty after Ante Budimir was fouled in the box. In the 62nd minute, Ivan Perišić extended the lead with a low-driven shot into the far corner.
