FIFA World Cup 2022: Morocco holds off Croatia in another Goalless Draw 0-0, Player Ratings.

Morocco holds off 2018 World Cup runners-up Croatia in goalless draw 0-0 on Wednesday morning in the opening match of Group F.

Luka-Modric, the captain of Croatia who lost to France in the World Cup final and was named the tournament's best player, was stifled by Morocco.

When Modric was named player of the game, Moroccan supporters booed the choice, chanting and flailing their scarves as they jumped up and down in the closing seconds.

Before Morocco’s wonderful performance came 24 hours after Saudi Arabia Lighten-Up the first World Cup Win by Stunning Lionel Messi’s Argentina 2-1 in one of the biggest upsets in the tournament’s history.

Tunisia followed that up with a scoreless draw against European Championship semifinalist Denmark.

PSG Star, Achraf Hakimi of Morocco had the best opportunity, but goalkeeper Dominik-Livakovic deflected his thunderous second-half shot with both of his fists.

When he fired a shot just over the crossbar in first-half stoppage time, Modric had the best opportunity of the game. Dejan Lovran's corner kick attempt was blocked by Sofyan Amrabat for Morocco, and Croatia also came close.

The Atlas Lions bowed out at the group stage 4 years ago in Russia 2018.
