FULL TIME: Croatia 4-1 Canada

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!

90+4' GOAAAAL!!!!! CROATIA!!!!!

84' Football brawl! Kamal Miller and Luka Modric are involved in some unnecessary tension at the middle of the park and both the players are booked for pushing and shoving.

81' Croatian have absolute control on the game at the moment. While it is known that Canada need to hit back soon to have any chance of getting something from the game. However, Croatia have all the possession, that too inside the Canadian half, near the Canadian box. 

77' SAVE! Brozovic has a shot on goal from inside the box but the shot is saved by Milan Borjan.

70' GOAAAAAL!!!!! CROATIAA!!!!! 

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. 

65' The tempo of the game as dropped a bit as Croatia control the game in the middle areas but are not finding enough spaces in the Canadian half. Canada are also not overzealous at the moment with attacking the Croatian half.

60' Substitution for Croatia: Bruno Petkovic replaces Marko Livaja. 

58' Dejan Lovren goes into the book for an earlier challenge during the Canadian offence.

58' STUNNING SAVE! Jonathan David has a shot on goal first time from distance. The ball was dipping down from the crossbar and a full stretched save from Dominik Livakovic keeps the scoreline same.

57' Croatia are all over Canada at the moment as they chase their third goal of the game. Canada are not able to break the middle lines at the moment.

55' MASSIVE SAVE! Bojan produces the most important save of the game for Canada as he denies Kramaric as had a simple shot at goal, being unmarked in the Canadian box after a brilliant bit of link-up play by Brozovic and Modric.

53' First booking of the evening as Tajon Buchanan goes into the referee's book on Josko Gvardiol. 

51' Kramaric tries to find Perisic with a cross but the ball goes over everybody to the other wing. Sosa has the second bite of the cherry and gets in a better delivery but Canada clear their lines. Not very convincing defending but good enough.

48' CLOSE!!!! Jonathan Osario goes for the spectacular from distance and his shot curls in the air and goes whiskers above the Croatian goal. That was pretty close for Canada.

46' Substitution for Canada at half-time: Ismael Kone replaces Stephen Eustaquio

46' Substitution for Canada at half-time: Jonathan Osario replaces Cyle Larin

46' Second-half kicks-off.

HALF TIME: Croatia 2-1 Canada

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.

45+5' Croatia break into attack yet again and it is Kramaric yet again. He is clear on goal but Alistair Johnstone recovers in fantastic style to pave Canada out.

45+2' Croatia just cannot stop coming at Canada. Kramaric has a shot on goal and the shot is saved by desperate defending from Canada.

45' Additional Time: 5 Minutes

44' GOAAAALL!!!!!!! CROATIA!!!!!!

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!

40' The game has slowed down a bit right after the Croatia equaliser. A slight lull in the midfield.

36' GOAAAAAAAAAL!!!! CROATIAA!!!! 

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! 

35' SAVE! Brilliant football from Croatia as Marko Livaja's shot is saved by Milan Borjan at the Canadian goal. Corner for Croatia.

33' Chaos in the Canada box. A pinball situation breaks out as Croatia have two shots blocked in the barrage of Canadian players in the box. Nothing substantial could happen though. However, Croatia keep on the pressure on Canada.

31' The set-piece delivery from Aphonso Davies is not good enough as Croatia break out in attack. Perisic finds himself in the clear in a counter attacking move but Canada eventually recover.

29' Canada keep up the pressure on the Croatians with consistent possession and attacking approach. They have a set-piece situation with Alphonso Davies on the ball.

26' Stunning play from Andrej Kramaric as he wriggles past the Croatia defence and finds the back of the net but an earlier pass during the Croatian link-up play was offside and the goal does not stand. Canada fortunate there!

22' CHANCE! Marko Livaja has the chance to score but his shot has no power and Milan Borjan collects with a hugh sigh of relief.

20' Croatia seem to have regained some control of the game but cheaply give away possession in a vital space and Canada run. They run against the run of play against the Croatian run of play. Alphonso Davies has Larin at the centre but his ball is wayward and Croatia recover just in time.

17' Croatia have an opening as Luka Modric shows his pertinent class and finds Perisic with a stunning through ball but the latter does not get his first touch right and Canada can safely play out from the back.

15' Larin with a fantastic low cross towards Alphonso Davies inside the Croatia half but the Croatians get back just in time to outnumber the on-rushing Davies as Canada chase their second ever World Cup goal. Croatia nowhere in the game at the moment.

13' Croatia have a corner delivered against the run of play but Canada have no problems dealing with the set-piece. The North Americans play on.

11' Larin is clear on goal after Canada split apart the Croatian defence but a tight line maintained by the Croatian defence forces Larin to be offside.

9' Lovely bit of skill from Buchanan as he spins around his marker with a swift move and cuts around two defenders for the Canadian offence but he is outnumbered.

7' Croatia trying to slow down the pace of the game. Canada are lightning quick on the ball right now and the Croats have a problem in controlling the terms of the game.

4' Vitoria penalised for a foul against Marcelo Brozovic inside the Croatian half.

2' GOAAAAAAL! CANADA!!!!!

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!!!!

Croatia are undefeated in their last six games across all competitions while keeping four clean sheets in that period. They will be hopeful of another solid defensive outing in this match.Canada, on the other hand, have suffered three defeats in their last six games across all competitions and have kept just one clean sheet in those games. They will need to tap into their attacking prowess in this match to ensure a positive outcome.They attempted 22 shots (though only three were on target) in their loss against Belgium and will need to produce a similar display here if they are to score their first goal at the FIFA World Cup.

Croatia saw their run of scoring at least one goal per game in the FIFA World Cup come to an end after 11 games as they played out a goalless draw against Morocco on Wednesday.

Canada have not scored a goal in any of their World Cup appearances and have lost all four of their games in the competition, which is the longest period in which any team has failed to score in the World Cup.

The two teams will be meeting for the first time. Croatia have played in six editions of the FIFA World Cup while Canada are making just their second appearance at the main event.Croatia have faced opponents from the CONCACAF region three times in the World Cup. They have one win and two defeats in these games. All four of Canada's games in the World Cup have come against European opponents, in which they have suffered defeats.

Canada had a relatively poor start to their campaign and suffered a 1-0 defeat against Belgium. In their first appearance at the main event since 1986, they failed to open their goalscoring account. Alphonso Davies had a golden opportunity to give them an early lead but Thibaut Courtois saved his penalty.It is a do-or-die game for Canada as a defeat here will see them eliminated from the group stage.

Croatia and Canada will lock horns at the Khalifa International Stadium in their upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup group stage match on Sunday.As has been the case for many teams, the second game of the group stage holds significance for both Croatia and Canada. Croatia, the 2018 finalists, played out a goalless draw against Morocco in their campaign opener and will need at least a point from the game to keep their knockout hopes alive.

Hello and Welcome to Sportskeeda's LIVE coverage from the Croatia vs Canada game in Group F at the FIFA World Cup 2022 from the Khalifa International Stadium, Al-Rayyan, Qatar.
