Croatia recorded a 2-1 victory over Morocco to claim third place at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
After falling short to Argentina and France in the semifinals, both Croatia and Morocco looked to finish their campaigns on a positive note.
Luka Modric led the way for Croatia, in what was most likely his last FIFA World Cup appearance.
Mislav Orsic scored the decisive goal shortly before halftime at Khalifa International Stadium to ensure Modric finished on a winning note.
Tournament breakout star Josko Gvardiol put Croatia ahead after seven minutes, only for Morocco to equalize 112 seconds later through Achraf Dari.
It is the second time Croatia has taken third place. The team also achieved that feat in its first World Cup as an independent nation in 1998.
