If Ampadu keeps his position in the first screenshot instead of getting needlessly attracted the the ball/man, he may have prevented the goal by giving Petkovic no space to lay it off for Vlasic (in yellow) to shoot.
Allen, Rodon and Lockyer are all putting the winger, Brekalo, under pressure and if he had scored on his own from there then it would have been something special. Instead, his pass to Petkovic takes Ampadu completely out of the game.

In this split second all Ampadu can see is a 1 v 1 inside the box, and he has no idea if their full-back is going past his man or not. Based on the way the guy had just annihilated two Welsh players, you have to say the odds are with the Croatia full-back. Ampadu is the only player who can provide cover if he beats his man. At that precise moment in time Ampadu has to go towards the ball. Whatever happened next has no relevance regarding his decision, as nobody on the pitch knew what the outcome would be.
