Croatia and Morocco are vying for the third place in the World Cup 2022 tonight.
As Croatia are playing their second third place match, it is Morocco's first.
They are set to lock horns at 8:45 pm at the Khalifa International Stadium.
Earlier, Croatia lost to Argentina 0-3 and Morocco to France 0-2 in the semi-finals. While Croatia are former runners-up, Morocco reached the semi-finals for the first time.
These two teams belonging to the same group earlier played a goalless draw in the group stage.
Before that, these two teams faced off in 1996 and even then, had played 2-2 draw.Both teams are known for their defensive play.
The very first time Croatia took part in a FIFA world cup in 1998, they finished third. Last time, they were the runners-up - which shows how dangerous they are as a team once they get past the group stages.
Morocco, on the other hand, have already created history by becoming the first African country to enter the semi-final. Tonight, they’ll get another chance to create history by becoming the first African country to finish third.
