FULL-TIME: Morocco 0 – 0 Croatia
Croatia made it all the way to the World Cup final in 2018 and came back to take silver after losing 4-2 to France. They’ll be looking for a similar run this time, as they competed well during qualification and won their last six, including 4-2 against DR Congo just one week ago. Morocco is making their sixth consecutive appearance at the World Cup and has yet to concede in five games this Year.
Morocco has won only one of their last 10 World Cup games (D2 L7), and they lost 3-0 against Scotland in the group stages in 1998. Here is the highlight of the Morocco Vs. Croatia FIFA World Cup Match 2022. This is the first time the two sides will meet at the World Cup.
17′ Big Chance
The space opens up through the middle, and Perisic aims for the top corner, but it dips too late and sails just over the bar. It’s the closest anyone has come so far.
18′ Huge Chance
Morocco gets the ball in an advanced position, but they lose it again. They get it back near midfield but need to figure out what to do with it. Eventually, this time Ziyech whipped an inviting cross towards the far post, which En-Nesyri should have read better and knocked into the goal.
32′ Promising Attack
Modric plays a one-two with Perisic down the left before cutting Morocco open with a through ball into the box. Kramaric chases it but then fires his cross straight at Aguerd, who clears it off the line.
36′ Waste Big Chance
Three Moroccans slide in to dispossess Brozovic, but he coolly comes away with the ball before knocking it past Amrabat to look for Kramaric. A loose touch takes it out, but Brozovic can secure possession.
42′ Injury
It looks like the Croatian star Vlasic was getting treatment on his hamstring during a timeout, but he quickly recovered and finished the game with ease.
45′ Big Save
Croatia loses the ball but quickly wins it back. Vlasic then curls a dangerous cross into the six-yard box, Sosa takes it the first time, but the Moroccan keeper Bounou saves it.
45’+ Big Chance
Modric passes it to Persic. Perisic’s first-time volley is blocked by Saiss, who throws himself in front of it. It bounces invitingly to Modric, and he gets it on target, but it flies over the bar.
51’ Big Chance
Bounou saw a shot blocked straight in front of the goal in ten minutes, with there being calls for a penalty from the Moroccan crowd. The play was halted briefly and Mohamed Mazraoui had a go at it, but Marek Lovrndak denied him.
59’ Injury
Mazraoui just signaled to the bench and appears to have an injury. The medical staff is now back on the field, and Attiat-Allah is walking over as they prepare for this match.
64’ Rocket Shot
Morocco takes a free-kick from the center of the field, and though it’s a long way out, they put in one of their best players to put it in the back of the net. Ziyech rolls it into Hakimi for a strike, but Livakovic gets there to punch away.
74’ Promising Attack
Bounou catches Modric’s corner in the very first move of the game, and he has options on either side to score. But after he takes too long, Lovren steals the ball away, leading to a counterattack.
90’+ Big Chance
Morocco remains strong in attack and has its sights set on the far post. Croatia’s defense is the only thing that keeps them from scoring this time, and they concede another free kick to Croatia.

The match between Morocco and Croatia took place mostly with only a few saves and shots. After the first half, Both Team is even. Modric and Perisic had some good opportunities, but they scored on one shot in the lead-up time. At the other end, an En-Nesyri had a chance to score, but he couldn’t make it happen when Ziyech crossed the ball.
Despite Pinnacle’s possession in this game and a better amount of opportunities, Croatia was unable to take advantage before the two minutes of stoppage time at the end of the first half.
Dalic will be looking for more of a threat after the break as Morocco has looked very dangerous on offense, but without testing Livakovic, which is something Ronaldo will want to improve in the second half.
Both sides had just two shots on target each in the game. Croatia had better chances with Perisic and Modric shooting over the bar, while Vlasic denied Hakimi with a good save. At the end of the first half, Mazraoui saw his header saved by Livakovic before Hakimi’s powerful long-range strike went wide.
