Croatia kept alive their hopes of progression to the second round of the World Cup with a thumping win over ten-man Cameroon at the Arena Amazonia in Manaus.

Goals from Ivica Olic, Ivan Perisic and a double from returning Mario Mandzukic buried Cameroon who began fighting among themselves before the end.

Benoit Assou-Ekotto was seen head-butting Benjamin Moukandjo after Alex Song was sent off in the first half for for striking Mandzukic on the back of the neck.

Croatia now head into the final game knowing a win against Mexico will send them into the last 16, and while the chances of winning the group is slight - it would mean Cameroon stopping Brazi - it is still a possibility.

Next up, Croatia play Mexico on Monday in Recife with the other game, Cameroon vs Brazil is on at the same time in Brasilia.
