Argentina, who came to the World Cup as a favorite, was defeated by the Asian team Saudi Arabia. Denmark, dubbed the ‘dark horse’, are stuck against African side Tunisia. Another representative of Africa, Morocco, blocked Croatia in the final game of the World Cup in Russia. Even though Luka Modric attacked, the match ended in a goalless draw.

In terms of strength, the Croats are ahead. With Russia repeating in Qatar, the pressure was on Luka Modric-Perisic. On the other hand, although it is an African country, France’s closest neighbor is Morocco. Many of their players grew up in France. Even if the stars are not rich, almost all of them play in European leagues.

Croatia entered the field knowing that Morocco would not give scoring chances easily. Last season’s runners-up team attacked by holding 64 percent of the ball. Took three shots to score. Coach Glatko Dalik can call himself “unlucky” for not getting a goal from the head.

Morocco played the whole match relying on counter attacks. They didn’t get many shots. However, he could have scored two goals in both attacks. In the end, despite being able to stop the Croats, Hakim Zaykh, Ashraf Hakimir could not leave the field with victory.
This draw will put pressure on Croatia to advance to the second round. Because their other opponent in the group is Belgium. Against whom it will be difficult for the Croats without a victory. Although Canada is not rich in football tradition, their team this year is a surprise. On the other hand, Morocco can dream of going to the second round.
