Today, December 1, at the stadium “Ahmed bin Ali” in El Rayyan, the match of the 3rd round of the group stage of the 2022 World Cup between the national teams of Croatia and Belgium took place.
Despite the dominance of the bronze medalists of the world championship in Russia, they could not print the gates of the Croats. As a result – 0:0. Let’s add that the “checkers” claimed a penalty in the 17th minute, but the 11-meter kick was not appointed after watching VAR.
Thus, the wards of Robert Martinez scored four points and failed to break into the playoffs of the tournament. Croatia finished second with five points. The Moroccan team won the group sensationally, defeating Canada (2:1) in a parallel meeting.
Previously, Brazil, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Argentina, the USA, Australia, Poland, England, and Senegal have overcome the group stage.
