- 18 ″ 👟 Croatia’s first goal came after a bad cross pass from a corner by “Brozevic” to mistakenly disperse the French defenders and find Lovrin, who conceded with the right, deflecting “Lucas Hernández” before hitting with his left on the left end of goalkeeper Hugo Lloris … a goal that only a Capaz striker can score.
- 30 France team after half an hour, a game far from all persuasion … there are no opportunities or serious attempts to score despite the fact that Croatia suffers from low level in midfield.
