Croatia 'tumbles' Morocco (2-1) and remains in third place in the World Cup

The Glass of the World is closing with brooch of gold, or at least this left to see Croatia and Morocco in the fight by the third place of the tournament. Further to see it like a prize of 'consolación', both selections left a partidazo, very contested, that left to the Croatian selection with the medal, as it already had happened in France 98. Gvardiol And Orsic, with the discount of Dari, went the goleadores of the afternoon.

They had gathered the two selections 'surprises' that had left on the way to big favourite. The expectation was maximum, in the previous, but Croatia was a pasito by in front in the terrain of game. They showed his more offensive version (and effective) for presionar high to the Moroccans and force them to live in his field, in front of a Morocco that, although it was not very comfortable, took advantage of his opportunities to seed fear in the Europeans.

The pressure asfixiante of the Croats caused that, few minutes after the pitazo initial, Bono almost committed a lethal error that could move the marker: Almost it annotates a goal in own door when it looked for to give a pass and the balloon finish brushing the stick. In the following, did not forgive, with a played tested that finish in a head butt of Gvardiol for the 1-0 after a shot of direct fault of Majer that fell in the head of Perisic for afterwards assist to the central of 20 years.

In the reaction and, after another played to unemployed balloon, the Moroccans put the tie. Zyech Put a lateral fault that the Croats did not reach to clear and Dari finish interrupting in the area to command it to the deepest of the network. A played that no only equalised the electronic, but it converted the party in a constant gone and turn in research of the tiebreaker.

The Vatreni were with more tarpaulin to the hour to approach to the area of Bono, but without luck for 'deceive' to the guardameta of the Seville. Luka Modric Or Kramaric were the first in trying it, in front of the surprises of In-Nesyri or Achraf, but was Orsic the one who struck stronger (with a golazo) to mark the difference.

And it is that, when more confidence won the Moroccans, Orsic imposed his law with a golazo after a played very long in zone of attack that achieved to finalise with a shot with thread to the long stick that touched the wood for colarse in the goal. Bono touched, but was incontestable the finish of the player of the Dinamo Zagreb.

Croatia, very solid

In the resumption, was Croatia the one who looked for the sentence before that Morocco pursued the tie. Orsic, in fact, was about to to mark his doublet in the 47', when it sent a shot looking for the short stick, that brushed The Yamiq the just so that no colara in the goal of Bono. Afterwards it was Livaja, that tried to attack a centre of Majer, but Dari took part before so that it did not have luck.

The Moroccans tried to advance lines and look for the goal, but toparon with a very solid and solvent Croatia to defensive level that denied him, one and again, clear approaches to the area of Livakovic. To fault of less than 20' for the end, seeded the controversy in Doha after a fall of Gvardiol inside the area after an entrance of Amrabat that was not signalled.

The VAR did not signal at all and in the continuation of the played Morocco achieved a dangerous contragolpe that finish with a paradón of Livakovic to In-Nesyri after a shot point-blank that cleared, almost of miracle, baling out in his exit. It was one of the last approaches of the Moroccans that, although they litigated by the party, remained in front of the attempt against a very serious Croatia.
