Croatia have finished third in the ongoing World Cup. 

The former runner-up beat Morocco 2-1 to clinch the third place spot at Khalifa International Stadium in Qatar.

None of the team scored any goals in the second half of the match.

At the end of the first half, Croatia took a 2-1 lead against Morocco.

Joško Gvardiol of Croatia scored the first goal of the match at the 7th minute.

Two minutes later, Achraf Dari equalized the score for Morocco.

Mislav Oršić scored another goal for Croatia in the 42nd minute to give his team 2-1 lead over Morocco.
