JAKARTA Croatia and Morocco only brought home one point each after playing goalless in the opening match of Group F of the 2022 World Cup Qatar at Al Bayt Stadium, Wednesday, November 23 evening WIB.

The first half ran without many chances. Croatia was recorded as only making it on target for 45 minutes.

Croatia's first attempt came on 17th when Ivan Perisic tried to take off long distances. Unfortunately for him, his shot deviated several inches from the top post of the goal.

The second threat was when Nikola Vlasic got a pass inside the penalty box and fired a first-touch shot at the end of the first half. However, his attempt was blocked by the Morocco goalkeeper.

Then it was Luka Modric's turn to threaten the opponent's goal with a shot. But unlucky, the ball just deviated far over the goal.

At the start of the second half, Morocco immediately tried to excel after playing goalless in the first half. The first threat was made through Noussair Mazraoui's header from close range, but the Krosia goal was safe from Dominik Livakovic.

In the 53rd minute Dejan Lovren greeted the rebound ball and immediately fired a kick to shake the opponent's net. Unfortunately, the theme was blocked.

Morocco responded with efforts from Achraf Hakimi ten minutes later. He fired the ball in the middle of the goal, but failed to surprise Livakovic.

Both teams had no chances after that. Until the long whistle was blown, the 0-0 score from the first half remained. This result made the two teams share just one point.

In this group there are also Canada and Belgium who will only play in the early hours of the morning. The two duels will be held at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium.
