Croatia secure World Cup third place over Morocco
Croatia defeated Morocco 2-1 to secure third place at World Cup 2022.
Ivan Perisic opened the scoring for Croatia by flicking on a free-kick that was latched on to by Gvardiol’s brilliant finish, flying through the air to head into the far corner.
Morocco levelled immediately courtesy of Dari, a looping ball falling into his path to convert from a few yards out and spark rowdy celebrations in the stands.
Marko Livaja laid the ball off for Orsic, who curled a glorious first time finish past the despairing reach of goalkeeper Yassine Bounou and into the net via the post to put Croatia in the lead.
