23' Canada 0-2 Morocco
GOAL! Another goal for Morocco, and boy are they marching confidently towards the knockouts at the moment! Youssef En-Nesyri scores for the Atlas Lions this time, beating two Canadian defenders as well as the goalkeeper to become the first from his nation to score in two different World Cups.

15’ Croatia 0-0 Belgium
Penalty awarded to Croatia! And it’s Modric who will be taking the kick. Golden opportunity for the Croats to gain the early lead!
But just when Modric is preparing to take the kick, the referee decides to consult VAR to check for a possible offside.
And offside it is! No penalty!

4' Canada 0-1 Morocco
GOAL! Poor defending from the Canadians as Hakim Ziyech puts the Atlas Lions ahead inside the first five minutes! Fastest ever goal for the Moroccans at the World Cup and one that gives their knockout hopes a major boost!
