Croatia scored twice in the first half to defeat Morocco 2-1 in the third-place game of Qatar 2022.
Goals from Joko Gvardiol and Mislav Orsic ensured Croatia take a third-position finish at the World Cup.
Gvardiol converted a diving header from Ivan Perisic’s cross in seven minutes to give Croatia the lead before Morocco equalised two minutes later through Ashram Dari, who planted a looping header past the goalkeeper to restore parity for Africa’s last nation standing.
Orsic settled the match three minutes before the interval, bending in a superbly hit shot beyond Yaccine Bounou to make it 2-1.
A feisty second period did not produce any goal despite Morocco’s best attempts as Croatia, runners-up at Russia 2018, held on to claim the bronze medal at the 2022 World Cup.
It is their second third-place finish in the World Cup, adding to their 1998 effort. Morocco, on the other hand, take the fourth position to confirm Africa’s highest-ever finish in the World Cup.
