13:00Morocco and Croatia tied in a match with no goals and few chances, but with intensity and emotion until the end. The attackers of both teams were uninspired and overwhelmed all the time by the opposing defenses. Bono and Livakovic intervened several times and all were successful.
12:56IT’S NOT GOING ANYMORE!! FULL TIME!!

MIN 77Very hard tackle from Amrabat on Modric preventing the Real Madrid crack from advancing, clear yellow card
MIN 76Croatia took the ball and the game, no chances so far
MIN 75The fans suffer in the stands as the sand falls off the clock. We entered in the last 15 minutes!
MIN 72Corner in favor of Croatia which ended in a quick attack by Abde, who was about to enter the opposing area and shoot. Once again the defense prevailed
MIN 71Croatia got it from set pieces. Modric’s calm center found the head of En-Nesyri, who almost put it in his own goal. Defensive forwards are a real danger
MIN 70Croatia substitutions: Kramaric leaves and Livaja comes on
MIN 69Croatian coach Dalic was a little relieved to see his team get the ball back and the game wasn’t too crazy.
MIN 68The Croatian game was a bit of a sleeper, overtaken by Morocco’s intensity
MIN 66Abde entered the field and Boufal left, barely intervening. The Osasuna attacker can be decisive with his lack of balance
MIN 65Hakimi’s shot had a strange impact and Livakovic put it out by a hair. It is tightening in Morocco.
MIN 64LIVAKOVIC STOP!
MIN 63LOST NEAR THE PLACE FOR MOROCCO!
MIN 62New attack on the right wing by Hakimi, who put a good ball into the center of the area and couldn’t find the finisher
MIN 62ABOUT FINDING THE MOROCCO GOAL!
MIN 61Mazraoui retired due to hip problems and Attiat-Allal replaced him. Damage occurred on the plate shot that almost caught Morocco…
MIN 59Mazraoui sits on the green and demands a change!
MIN 56Modric didn’t like the frantic rhythm the match had entered into and asked his teammates to calm down and head on.
MIN 54Both teams have left the fear of losing in the locker room and are looking for the goal that will put them ahead on the scoreboard. We are enjoying it!
MIN 51Entering the right wing of Croatia, with a cross with music at the far post that just before finding the auctioneer saw Hakimi appear to save his team, brilliant defensive action by the PSG player
MIN 51CROATIA HAS IT!
MIN 50Long shot that bounces off a Croatian defender, the ball stays dead in the small area and Mazraoui’s flat iron shot is caught by Livakovic
MIN 50 GOAL CHANCE FOR MOROCCO!
MIN 49Morocco started pressing the medium-high block, trying to recover in the opposite field
MIN 46Amrabat left the anecdote of the match before the start of the second half: all the players were ready to continue the rivalry and he was still in the locker room. There must have been some physiological need
PART TWO HAS BEEN STARTED!! —
Croatia introduce a change: Pasalic comes on and Vlasic retires in discomfort–
SECOND HALF BEGINS–
11:55 a.mThe first half was a good match of equals. Both teams feel they can win and any small detail will decide the fate of the match. Right now, defenses are dominating attacks and there are hardly any shots on goal. Huge performance by Lovren and Gvardiol, snuffing out every EN-NESYRI attempt. Spare parts can be key
STATEMENT TIME FOR PLAYERS–
MIN 45+2Another important occasion for Croatia, who shot from the edge of the area into the clouds
MIN 45The ball was centered from the left sector into the small area and Vlasic’s first shot was met by the endless legs of Bono, the occasion was so clear
MIN 45CLEAR OPPORTUNITY FOR CROATIA!!
MIN 44Croatia tried with long balls to Kramaric, who extended his head and hoped one of the wingers would pick up the ball
MIN 43A hitter with a slight limp, his continued presence on the field does not appear to be in jeopardy
MIN 42Vlasic needs medical help
MIN 40The first shot at the goal continues to be resisted, the center is forcibly repelled by the Croatian defense, which does an impeccable job
MIN 39VERY DANGEROUS SIDE FOUL FOR MOROCCO!
MIN 37The few times the Moroccan team can fight it shows that in the spaces more comfortable, the right wing with Hakimi and Ziyech is very dangerous.
MIN 35He forces the ball to circulate from one side of Morocco to the other, without looking deep and making possessions sterile
MIN 33Croatia’s main argument in attack is Perisic, who tries again and again against Hakimi without success
MIN 31The central pairing formed by the veteran Lovren and the young Gvardiol is life insurance for Dalic’s team
MIN 31Croatia were very solid in defence, without conceding a single chance
MIN 28A pass from Kramaric was intercepted by Bono and the play was over, still no shot between the three sticks.
MIN 26The pace of the match was slow and Croatia did not manage to connect with Modric or Kovacic to provide fluidity on the ball
MIN 24Nice pass from Mazraoui to En-Nesyri, who controlled the area and managed to turn and then shoot, but his shot bounced off a defender. Nice move from Morocco
MIN 23Great attack on the right wing by Hakimi that ends up leaving the Croatian defense, the PSG side was one of the most active in the game
MIN 21There was no clear owner of the game and both teams prioritized defense over attack, so far there was a lot of fear and few chances. The best is yet to come!
MIN 20Shot goes straight against the bar, Croatia saved
MIN 19CLEAR SIN IN FAVOR OF MOROCCO
MIN 16Defeated in Morocco’s own half when trying to go on the counter and Perisic’s shot from distance went over the crossbar
MIN 16oh
FIRST CHANCE OF THE MATCH FOR CROATIA, DISTANT SHOT HITS THE BAR!
MIN 13The ‘lions of the atlas’ try to hit continuously on the right side, with the depth of Hakimi and the diagonals of Ziyech
MIN 12Morocco started to get the ball, still no clear chances
MIN 10Lovren’s long delivery behind the central defenders almost meant the first chance of the game, but Saiss extinguished the fire in time.
MIN 8First long possession for the Moroccans, who so far have been imprecise and clueless. The roots of the World Cup premiere are coming out
MIN 6Morocco choose to drop back and wait in their own half with a 1-4-1-4-1
MIN 5Corner for Croatia, who started the game better and are putting Morocco behind further
MIN 4Croatia tries to do damage on the flanks, especially on the left wing with Perisic
MIN 2Lots of respect from both teams, so far neither wants to take chances
MIN 1Morocco chose to give the ball to Croatia and wait for a moderately low block to counter
THE FIGHT BETWEEN MOROCCO AND CROATIA STARTS!! —
ANTHEMS are playing, LET THE MATCH BEGIN!–
IN NESIRY, THE GREAT HOPE OF MOROCCOThe Moroccan team easily creates chances and knows how to put their rivals in trouble, but it is very difficult for them to materialize the chances they have. Therefore, the inspiration of the Sevilla forward lies in the aspirations of the team led by Regragui
MODRIC IS THE BIG STAR OF THE MATCHThe Real Madrid star will focus all eyes on a fascinating football rivalry. Both teams are characterized by wanting the ball, being offensive and looking for a rival goal. At Russia 2018 Luka led Croatia to the final and a few months later he won the Golden Ball for his World Cup. With almost complete certainty this is the last big appointment of the Croatian genius in the selection
CROATIA LINEUPLivakovic; Juranovic, Lovren, Guardiol, Sosa; Brozovic, Modric, Kovacic; Vlasic, Kramaric and Perisic (1-4-3-3)
MOROCCO LINEUPbonds; Hakimi, Aguerd, Saiss, Mazaraoui; Amrabat, Ounahi, Amallah; Ziyech, En-Nesyri and Boufal (1-4-3-3)
