Croatia vs Canada Live

Earlier today, we saw two wins in the first two fixtures, Costa Rica defeated Japan 1-0, while minutes ago, Morocco stunned Belgium 2-0.

This evening's match between Croatia and Canada is crucial for both teams as they are both teams are yet to pick up a win in the 2022 World Cup group stage.

Croatia played out a stalemate with Morocco in their opening group game, while Canada, for all their impressive display came up short by a goal to nothing against Belgium.
