And don't forget to tune in for the live coverage of the remaining three games of the day on Sportskeeda.
A game of few chances ends in a goalless draw as Morocco frustrate the 2018 runners-up. Croatia struggled to create any meaningful chances as Morocco held their own.
The game went end-to-end at times but had just a few exciting moments in what was a tough game for both teams.
The European team have dominated possession (59%) but have not been able to get the better of a well-organized Moroccan defense.
All squares at half-time as the two teams canceled out each other's attacks very well. Morocco have been defensively solid and have frustrated the 2018 runners-up. Croatia had two good chances in injury time and will be looking to continue that momentum in the second half.
They have faced African opponents twice in the competition, recording a 6-0 win on aggregate, as they defeated Cameroon 4-0 in 2014 and inflicted a 2-0 defeat on Nigeria four years ago.
No African team has been able to pick up a win in the competition thus far and Morocco will be looking to change that fact in this game.
Croatia have won their last five games and in their friendly against Saudi Arabia last week, Andrej Kramaric helped them to a 1-0 win. He has also been handed a start in this game.
Morocco have not been able to make it past the group stage in their last three attempts and have only qualified for the knockout stage just once in their history, in 1986. They were eliminated in the round of 16 by eventual runners-up West Germany in that edition.
