  • 17' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 22' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Canada that had 4 games and scored 5 goals.
  • 27' Andrej Kramaric needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 32' Croatia is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 36' What an equalizer from Andrej Kramaric!
  • 37' Sensational shot from Andrej Kramaric. Croatia is back in the lead.

  • 60' Croatia manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Bruno Petkovic is hanging Marko Livaja on the field on 60 minute.
  • 62' It is a substitution in Canada team. Richie Laryea is replaced by Junior Hoilett on 62 minute.

  • 72' Lucas Cavallini has so much to prove this time. He replaces Jonathan David on 72 minute.
  • 77' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Cyle Larin made 33 appearances and scored 40 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 85' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Luka Modric.
