Daily Mail’s Nathan Salt summed up the game, writing: “Hard to argue with that result in the end. They have edged each other out and both sides’ best players simply didn’t live up to the billing.”
Led by Luka Modric, Croatia would have had high hopes for this game but found it hard to break down a resolute Morocco side who were well supported inside the stadium.
Chelsea’s Hakim Ziyech looked like the most likely to score for Croatia, however, Morocco had their chances but both sides lacked real quality in the final third and as Salt said, the draw was hard to argue.
This was the third 0-0 draw at the Qatar World Cup following Denmark vs Tunisia and Mexico vs Poland.
