With a 2-1 victory over Morocco, Croatia secured third place in Qatar for the 2022 World Cup.

The 20-year-old Joko Gvardiol made Croatian history by scoring the nation's youngest goal ever with a beautiful header in the seventh minute.

The game on Saturday appeared to be a goalfest for the ages until Achraf Dari equalised with a header of his own two minutes later.

However, after ten fast-paced minutes of play, the action at Doha's Khalifa International Stadium calmed down as both nations sought to cap their World Cup campaigns on a positive note.

The runners-up from last year, Croatia, quickly gained control of the ball while Morocco contently sat deep and contained them.
