Canada got off to a flying start with a stunning header from Alphonso Davies and looked great for the first 30 minutes. However, Croatia took total control of the game ever since then and had a dominating display, scoring 4 goals. It could have been worse for Canada as Andrej Kramaric scores a brace.
End of meaningful World Cup action for Canada as they cannot qualify for Round of 16. Croatia's campaign is truly on!
Lovro Mjaer scores after Croatia hit Canada against the run of play. Canada have no defenders at the back and are punished!
Perisic is played on the right side by Modric who finds Kramaric with a perfect cross. Kramaric's first touch is magical as he traps it inside the Canadian box, twists, turns and shoots to make it 3-1 for Croatia. The game looks sealed here for the European side here.
Canada started dreaming after their first ever World Cup goal as Alphonso Davies found the back of the net and controlled the game in the initial half hour. However, Croatia struck back in style and how as Kramaric and Livaja scored stunning goals to give the Europeans the lead against the North Americans. All to play for in the second-half. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda.
Marko Livaja with a stunning strike as Canadian defence fail to judge his shooting capability and stand ball watching. The ball went in like an absolute rocket as the Croatians complete the comeback!
Modric's ball from the corner is cleared away. The ball lands up with Perisic who combines with his teammates to open up the Canada defence and finds Kramaric who slots it past Borjan with a clinical finish. It is all square!
Alphonso Davies with a stunning header as he connects a perfect cross from the right. He made the header his own as he rises above every Croat poacher in the box. Canada's first ever World Cup Goal! Football World Cup History made!!!!
