– Two top World Cup teams fight each other For us, it will be the most important performance with the most difficult opponent. France is very dangerous, especially because of a counter-attack. We had a great adventure and the road to the final, now there is no more excuses – we are ready – said the coach of the Croatian national team, Zlatko Dalić , before the Sunday final.
And this disposition of the Croats was well seen at least at first, because in the first quarter of the game they did some serious actions with wings, of which Ivan Striniæ, Ivan Perisiæ and Ante Rebiæ followed in turn. However, they did not bring the expected results, unlike the first serious situation created by the French.
In the 18th minute, Antoine Griezmann was fouled a few meters in front of the penalty area. To make a permanent part of the game came the injured himself, and he made it that the ball was directed to Mario Mandzukić by his own goal. The Croatian striker thus scored the first suicidal goal in the history of the M1 final. Another point is that the 32-year-old was absorbed by Paul Pogba in an offside position, and the free-throw dictated by Griezmann's foul was unfair

A quick answer and a lot of mistakes
The Croats on their lost goal reacted in their own style – they quickly attacked, started applying high pressures and … led to Equalization. Already after 10 minutes, Ivan Perisiæ beautifully finished the combined free throw, after which the Croatians exchanged a few passes. Eventually, the ball went to the side of the wingers, which did not give the chance to Hugo Lloris
The joy of Perisic and all the Croatian team was not sustainable because in the 35th minute, the ball was scored in his own court. The footballer, who intervened daily at Inter-Milan after mingling with the French, took part in the VAR consultations and imposed a penalty. Griezmann took the opportunity to defeat Danijela Subasic from a shot at the right post of the gate
The second period began almost like the first. The Croats played an offensive role, fired more often and had more possession of the ball. The goal was scored by the French in the 58th minute, Mbappe played a dynamic rally, his shot was blocked and the ball fell at the feet of Griezmann, who quickly took him to Pogba. The French midfielder tried and defeated Subasic in a precise shot.

The purpose of Pogba was the beginning of the Croatian national team. Croatia team, whose organization of the game has been completely sprinkled, especially the defensive game, where more and more errors in the establishment and overlap committed, among others Dejan Lovren and Domagoj Vida. One of these mistakes has ended with another goal for France. In the 65th minute, Mbappe received a great pass from Hernandez, improved the ball and shot so that the Croatian goalkeeper could not even react.

Lloris Fatal Mistake
And when it was 4:01, when it seemed that the French had everything under control, a fatal mistake was made by Lloris. The French goalkeeper received a request from one of his defenders, and he made a useless dribble with Mandzukic who was so good that he managed to block the battered ball towards the goal [19659002]

World champion of France
After the goal of Mandzukic, the Croats tried again, pressed, centered, shot but nothing brought results. Dalicia's footballers could not have a contact door, and the French waited calmly or calmly for the final whistle. Keep 4: 2 maintained, thanks to which they won the world championship! For the first time after 20 years of break!
