Croatia tied their second best performance in World Cup history after a 2-1 win against Morocco in the match for the third place. In 1998, Croatia also finished in the podium with Davor Suker as their star and, of course, 2018 remains their all-time best appearance by reaching the final and losing it with France.

The first half was thrilling. In a fantastic tactical play for a free kick, Josko Gvardiol scored with a tremendous header (7'). Two minutes later, Acharf Dari put the 1-1 for Morocco. Then, in one of the best goals of the tournament, Mislav Orsic made the 2-1 (42'). 

In the second half, both teams argued penalty kicks in their favor but VAR dismissed any chance of it. Croatia are oficially the third place in the Qatar 2022 World Cup and Morocco establish their fourth place as the best participation for an African team in history.

It is the last game for both and, although they were only one step away from being in the final, both teams will seek to finish as high as possible, something that would be historic for both. On the one hand, there will be Croatia, who played and won the third place game in France 1998, although their best performance was last World Cup. It would be great for the Croats to finish as high as possible as a farewell to this great generation.

For Morocco, his performance is already historic no matter how this World Cup ends. They have reached the semi-final, something that no other African team had ever done, so they not only made history for their country, but also for their continent. Although it would also be good to close a great performance to get third place.
