According to Hindustan Times:
Luka Modric’s Croatia were held for a 0-0 draw by a spirited Morocco in the FIFA World Cup 2022 match at the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor on Wednesday.
While Croatia held possession for significant part in the match, but didn’t create any threat apart from the first half effort by Nikola Vlasic.
He was denied by Morocco goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, who made an excellent save right towards the end of the half. Morocco started the second half with similar tempo and forced Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic to make a save. He got his head to block a diving header by Noussair Mazraoui.
He also made a comfortable save after Achraf Hakimi combined with Hakim Ziyech during a setpiece before blasting it at the Croatia goalpost, which went straight towards the goalkeeper.
