Croatia clinches third place after a 2-1 win against Morocco.

Croatia, who were runners-up in 2018, prevailed with goals by Josko Gvardiol and Mislav Orsic to end their World Cup on a high.

The victory also sees Croatia captain Luka Modric end what is likely to be his last World Cup with a bronze medal, although the 37-year-old has not called time on his international career yet after committing to next summer's Nations League finals.
