    Andrej Kramaric is in tears as he comes off as his seventh and final appearance at this World Cup comes to an end. He is replaced by Nikola Vlasic.

    Sofiane Boufal holds onto the ball for too long as he gets into the box and loses possession. He had the chance to shoot earlier.

    Andrej Kramaric is down injured for Croatia and it looks like his going to have to go off.

    Ounahi has everything he needs to become a top midfielder, great energy, fitness, demands the ball off the players all the time. Every time I've seen him he has been absolutely terrific.

    Croatia 2-1 Morocco

    There's a big cheer from the Morocco fans as Azzedine Ounahi comes on. The midfielder has been a star at this World Cup and is linked with a move to several Premier League clubs. He's on for Bilal El Khannouss.

    Croatia have started the second half well. It's been a more even game than the stats might suggest but the difference has been that the Morocco goalkeeper has been tested much more. You can see in the heatmap below that the biggest heat has been in Morocco's six-yard area.

    Every time Luka Modric saunters over to take a corner, the Croatian fans in that corner chant 'Luka'. Clearly a legend - and hopefully not the last time we see him in a major tournament.

    The way he's pulling the strings here, he's surely got another two years left in him at least.

    Nice move by Croatia sees Lovro Majer break clear of the defence, he has to take the ball away from Bono as the Morocco keeper closes down the gap but Majer then clips it back into the goalmouth but Morocco clear.

    I'm not sure a lot of these players would want to go to extra-time. There would be a lot of club managers sitting at home in charge of these players thinking 'no'.

    Croatia 2-1 Morocco

    Ivan Perisic is screaming for the ball on the left. He is in lots of space and is eventually spotted. The pass to him is a tad overhit but he keeps it in play and then finds Lovro Majer, whose ball into the box is dangerous but deflected behind. Goal kick given, however.

    Worth noting that Croatia were leading a World Cup match at half-time for the seventh time. They went on to win the game on each of the previous six occasions...

    QPR's Ilias Chair is off the bench. He got a big hug from boss Walid Regragui before coming on.

    He replaces Abdelhamid Sabiri for the start of the second half.

  14. KICK-OFFpublished at 46 mins

    Croatia 2-1 Morocco

    Morocco make a change for the start of the second half as QPR winger Ilias Chair comes on for Abdelhamid Sabiri.

    More of the same from the first half, please!

    Get Involved - 'Absolute joy to watch'published at 15:54 Greenwich Mean Time 17 December 2022

    This is proper football! No 60 passes to reach the halfway line or 30 yard rolls when lightly touched, just two teams enjoying themselves. Unlike many games here, this is an absolute joy to watch.
