Croatia defeated Morocco 2-1 in the third-place match, finishing the tournament in a top-three spot for the second straight World Cup.

Both sides scored in the first 10 minutes of this contest, as Josko Gvardiol opened the scoring in the seventh minute before Achraf Dari responded for Morocco just two minutes later.

Mislav Orsic fired Croatia back in front just before half-time with a beautiful lobbed finish that floated across a diving Bono and into the net.

Morocco pushed for an equaliser throughout the second half, with Youssef En-Nesyri getting the best chance in the dying minutes, but were unable to level the score.
