Morocco and last edition finalist Croatia played a goalless match, the competition third draw so far.

With almost 60,000 people in attendance, Croatia and Morocco played a conservative football as both teams didn’t want to concede.

Hakim Ziyech fired his free kick at the walk while Ivan Persic show blew past the goal post.

Just before half time, Morocco’s goalkeeper Bono was forced to make a good save and keep Nikola Vlašić out of the net.

Noussair Mazraoui had to be taken off in the second half after sustaining an injury, adding to Bayern Munich injury list.

PSG’s Archaf Hakimi also tried to score from a free kick but the attempt was well met by the goalkeeper to keep the game at 0-0.

There have been more 0-0 draws (3) in the 2022 World Cup so far than there was in the entirety of the 2018 World Cup (1).
