Morocco And Croatia Tied 0-0 In Group F
Morocco and Croatia began their Qatar 2022 campaigns with a 0-0 draw at Al Bayt Stadium. There were far too few thrills, spills, and goals.
A close and evenly matched encounter saw little chances, with Yassine Bono making the lone notable save to thwart Nikola Vlasic’s shot late in the first half.
The 2018 runners-up dominated possession, and Achraf Hakimi showed flashes of brilliance on occasion. However, this will not be among the most memorable games in Qatar 2022.

Significant Occurrence
Vlasic’s effort just before halftime stood out in light of the absence of evident possibilities. Ivan Perisic, who was mostly idle, helped with the build-up before Borna Sosa produced a fantastic cross. However, Bono produced an outstanding save to deny a goal while the Torino striker on loan appeared to be in with a chance.
The Situation
Luka Modric made his World Cup debut at the age of 37, 75 days after his actual birthday. The Vatreni captain broke Drazen Ladic’s record, which he set against the Netherlands in 1998 when he was 35 years and 191 days old.
