  • World Cup: Croatia beats Morocco 2-1 in thrilling third-place match

Croatia have secured a third-place victory at this year's FIFA World Cup in Qatar, beating Morocco 2-1 on Saturday evening.

The goals all came in the first half when Joško Gvardiol scored for Croatia in the 7th minute with Morocco answering back just two minutes later when Achraf Dari put the ball in the net -- setting up a high-octane start to the game. 

Both sides had their chances but it was Croatia who scored next, with Mislav Oršić getting his side's second goal in the 42nd minute.
