Croatia beat Morocco 2-1 in the World Cup third-place playoff on Saturday to secure a top three finish in the tournament for the second consecutive edition. Runners-up in 2018, Croatia also came third in the 1998 World Cup, beating the Netherlands 2-1. Josko Gvardiol put Croatia in front after a well-designed set-piece play. Lovro Majer lobbed a free-kick to Ivan Perisic, who peeled away from his marker to head the ball to the middle of the box where Gvardiol was perfectly positioned to nod the ball into the net with a brilliant diving header. But it only took two minutes for Morocco to find the equaliser, also from a free-kick, as Croatia’s Majer tried to clear the ball but miscalculated his header and missed badly, setting up Morocco’s Achraf Dari, who was alone in the six-yard-box to send home a close-range header. Croatia scored the winner three minutes from the break when Mislav Orsic netted a dipping, curled shot from just inside the area that went in off the post. They held their lead through an absorbing yet goalless second
A stunning strike from Mislav Orsic gave Croatia victory over Morocco in the World Cup third place play-off.

Two goals inside 10 minutes lit up the World Cup third place play-off between Morocco and Croatia. Josko Gvardiol headed Zlatko Dalic's team in front, with Achraf Dari equalising almost instantly, but Dinamo Zagreb star Orsic curled in off the far post to restore his team's lead just before half-time.

Croatia legend Luka Modric completed the full 90 minutes, and head coach Dalic is hopeful the play-off will not be the last game at a major tournament for his captain.

Modric, 37, will not feature at the next World Cup but was able to add a bronze medal to the silver he won in 2018. Dalic hopes today's clash with Morocco won't be his last for the Vatreni and wants him to continue playing until Euro 2024.

“I hope that he will be with us. I’m looking forward to that and I think it is quite certain that he will be but Luka Modric will decide personally as well how he feels."

As for Morocco, it was disappointment after an impressive run which saw them eliminate both Spain and Portugal. Walid Regragui's team have some more big games ahead of them in the new year as they look to book their place at the Africa Cup of Nations and build on their displays in Qatar. half.enjoy it :))
