Events

Match Events

  • 35' Dejan Lovren needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.

  • 45' Morocco is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 46' A tactical swap from Croatia — Mario Pasalic on, Nikola Vlasic off on 46 minutes.
