Croatia took home the bronze medal of the 2022 FIFA World Cup after beating Morocco 2-1 in the third-place game on Saturday.
The next 20 minutes stayed even between both sides, as each midfield tried to control the game to their manner. It was Croatia's counter press that caused loads of troubles for the Atlas Lions' trio in the center of the field, which ultimately led to the second Vatreni goal.
The second half nearly started with a goal for the Vatreni, with Orsic forcing problems once again. His shot in the 47th minute was just deflected and hit the side netting. Morocco's next best chance came via striker Youssef En-Nesyri in the 75th minute when he got to a ball that two Croatian center backs failed to head away. Dominik Livakovic, however, rushed out and made himself appear big to get the crucial save.
