Croatia celebrated in the second round of the group stage of the World Cup against Canada with a score of 4:1 and thus came to share the first place in Group F!
Zlatko Dalic’s players on the field responded to the Canadian coach who had an inappropriate message before this match.
It didn’t look like the neighbors were going to win, judging by the start of the match.
Already in Canada’s first attack, the first goal of the match was seen. Borjan started the action, the ball reached Buchanan, who sent a cross that was met by Davis and shook the opponent’s net with his head for 1:0 in the second minute of the match!
This deliberately “sobered” Modric and the team on the field, who from that moment started to besiege Milan Borjan’s goal.
The goal was hanging in the air, one was even canceled due to offside, but it was only a matter of time before the European selection would score the same.
It happened in the 32nd minute of the match when Perisic made a great pass and played past Kramaric, who beat the Canadian goalkeeper to equalize!
After only eight minutes, there was a total upheaval on the field.
Livaja brought a turnaround for Croatia with a precise shot from the edge of the penalty area for 2:1! With what he set the final result of the first half!
At the start of the second half, Canada was the first to threaten. Osorio had a great opportunity to score, but his shot flew wide of the post.
Croatia retaliated in the 54th minute when Modric sent Kramaric to work, and the latter sent a shot from a little more than ten meters from the goal that was saved by Borjan.
Croatia’s attacks continued, and the question of the winner was already resolved in the 70th minute of the match when Kramaric scored his second goal of the match for 3:1 after another great action!
In the final minutes of the match, Mayer scored the final goal for 4:1. Orsic ran the counter and unselfishly beat his teammate who scored!
Croats controlled the pace of the match until the very end and deservedly won.
