Alphonso Davies scored the blow to Croatia's ego. Against the finalists of the last World Cup, he scored the fastest goal of this World Cup to lead Canada. Despite the goal, it didn't take long for Luka Modric's side to get back on track. Croatia took Canada's progress as a challenge. After giving back two goals in the first half, two more in the second half. The World Cup runners-up brightened their chances of advancing to the second round from Group 'F' by defeating Canada 4-1, who made it to the World Cup for the first time since 1986.
Canada went ahead with a goal in 68 seconds of the game. In the previous match, Belgium did not get a goal even with 22 shots at the goal post. But Canada got their first goal in the World Cup today. Alphonso Davies made history in Canada. Playing the fifth match in the World Cup, their first goal - history. But not only scoring goals, they were dreaming of big things against Croatia. They could only dream of the way they played after moving on. But the opponent is Croatia.
It didn't take long for them to gradually take control of the match and return to parity. In the 37th minute, Kramarich opened Canada's goal from Perisic's pass. Less than eight minutes later, the Croats didn't have much momentum to knock Canada out of the match and make it 2-1. Marko Livaya scored the second goal for Croatia in the 44th minute. After losing a goal, Croatia dominated the last half of the first half.
Canada's chance came early in the second half. But Osario's shot narrowly missed the target. Croatia could also have increased the goal difference. Kramaric's shot from Modric's cross goes wide. However, Kramaric got his second goal shortly afterwards. Kramaric scored from Perisic's pass, tearing apart the Canadian defence.
Before that, however, Canada's Jay David's long-range shot was crossed over the post by Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic. After falling behind 3-1, Canada attacked. But the Croat could not make much use of the experience front.
Croatia made the scoreline 4-1 in added time. As Orcic took the ball from his own boundary, only Canadian goalkeeper Borjan was in front of him. But he didn't hit the goal and extended it to Lovro mother. It was not difficult for the mother to push it into the goal.
Croatia could not play their game against Morocco in the first match. But today the Croats showed their strength against Canada. Their next match is against Belgium. However, after today's match, it can be said that Croatia is going to be an ordeal for the Belgians. That match is now a knock out fight.
