A Croatia you need more Luka Modric if you want to play a good role in Qatar World Cup. The ’10’ was the best of him, but he was not well accompanied by a team that was too static. Moroccowho came to defend, won the prize with this tie and leaves alive his chances of going to the round of 16. [Narración y estadísticas: Marruecos 0-0 Croacia]

The most remarkable performance is that of Bono. the guardian of Seville He made several valid saves which stopped the few goal attempts of the vice-world champion. Despite the fact that his interventions turned out to be crucial, the Moroccan team played a very good game defensively.

This draw, the third without a goal so far in the World Cup, leaves open the future of Group F. The big favorites are Belgium, who make their debut at 8:00 p.m. against Canada. Croatia are filled with doubts and Morocco with illusions in the search for the ticket for the playoffs.

A match that was beyond Croatia’s control did not take a definitive course, especially uncomfortable at the start and subject to the hubbub proposed by Morocco. It was more about mistakes than success. Luka Modric couldn’t keep up and his rival put uncomfortable pressure on the runner-up.

The picture of zlatko vladic which already offered its maximum expression four years ago in Russia. The Balkan team that has now embarked on a gradual renewal is no longer veiled, which seeks talent on the level of those who stood out in its golden age. Some still follow, notably Modric, but he needs others to put in place the right gear.

Morocco, which now has well-known footballers who earn their living in major league clubs, intended to make anarchy a virtue. And that complicated Croatia, with talent and inspiration but with more method.

He was ashraf hakimi, the one with the most projection among the ‘Atlas Lions’, the one who most complicated the runner-up at the start. it costs Borna Sosa take the measure of the footballer Paris Saint Germain which had some approaches, warnings.

Except for one shot ivan perisicdistant, with Bono astray, caused by a failure in the delivery of selim amallah, there was no news in goal until the home stretch of the first game. In fact, the Sevilla keeper saved Morocco when Nicholas vlasic He hit a Sosa cross from the left. And just after, Luka Modric picked up a rejection in the crescent, with Bono on the ground, which grazed the crossbar.

Much more active was the start after the intermission. Ussair mazraoui, with a header, headed towards the small area and forced Dominik Livakovic to intervene for the first time. The action took the defender out of play Bayern Munich who was injured.

Achraf had it with a free and precise kick. it was not complicated Livakovic and put his fists up to take the ball away from him. Morocco had applauded, Croatia was not in control. Walid Regragui resorted to ez abdéthe football player Osasuna, to make Morocco more vertical. More speed, more wood.

Morocco and Croatia began to assume the value of the draw. I don’t disdain the fact that Dalic’s side have placed a better situation for later engagements against Canada and Belgium.
