Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Croatia kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 7' GOAL! Josko Gvardiol scores on 7. Assisted by Ivan Perisic
- 9' Goal! Achraf Dari scores his 6 goal in 11 matches.
- 14' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 19' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Josip Sutalo suffering a number of foals already.
- 24' Croatia started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 24.
- 29' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 34' Supporters expect more eagerness from Selim Amallah, as he is very good at scoring at Khalifa International Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 39' The travelling Morocco supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 42' What a strike from Mislav Orsic! The score is 2-1.
- 46' Time for substitution for Morocco. Abdelhamid Sabiri is replaced by Ilias Chair.
- 51' Badr Banoune needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 56' The whistle greets Bilal El Khannous as he departs to be replaced by Azzedine Ounahi.
- 61' The supporters are chanting for Nikola Vlasic. He replaces Andrej Kramaric on 61 minute.
- 62' Another change for Croatia made on 62 minute. Andrej Kramaric leaves to be changed by Nikola Vlasic.
- 64' Morocco manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Anass Zaroury is hanging Sofiane Boufal on the field on 64 minute.
- 66' It is a substitution in Croatia team. Marko Livaja is replaced by Mario Pasalic on 66 minute.
- 68' Time for substitution for Morocco. Jawad El Yamiq is replaced by Selim Amallah.
- 69' The referee shows Morocco player a Yellow card on 69.
- 74' It looks surprising Croatia does not make any changes. Lovro Majer has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 79' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Morocco that had 11 games and scored 12 goals.
- 84' A meaty challenge results in booking for Selim Amallah on 84.
- 89' Morocco is showing some good football. However, Morocco are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 90' It is a substitution in Croatia team. Mislav Orsic is replaced by Kristijan Jakic on 90 minute.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Croatia players.
