Harry Kane stepped up to take an early penalty after Luka Modric fouled Noni Madueke in the box, but his effort towards the bottom right corner was saved by Croatia goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic.
Following the save, the ball was quickly cleared away by the Croatian defence to temporarily keep the game scoreless.
Referee Clement Turpin paused the match shortly after the clearance to consult with the Video Assistant Referee team.
The review showed that Croatian defender Josko Gvardiol had run into the penalty box before Kane actually struck the ball.
According to the laws of the game, if a defending player encroaches into the penalty box or D-line before the kick is taken and the penalty is missed or saved, the kick must be retaken.
