Later on Wednesday, Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium will host the semi-final match between Croatia and England, with the kick-off set for 21:00 Moscow time.

It will be Croatia's second semi-final since 1998 when they claimed the third place in their first-ever FIFA World Cup as an independent nation after the break-up of Yugoslavia in 1992.

Croatian supporters already unfurled a similar banner in the Russian city of Kaliningrad on June 16 before their national team's group-stage match against Nigeria.
