Morocco did not have a good start to the third/fourth place play-off at the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Regragui's side were losing after just seven minutes of the contest.
Gvardiol made it 1-0 after a perfectly rehearsed free-kick routine, but their lead was short lived. In the ninth minute, Morocco levelled through Achraf Dari.
Just like with the first goal, the equalising goal came from a set-piece. This was not such a well rehearsed routine though.
A free-kick into the box was flicked on by Majer as he attempted to score. Dari took advantage of the loose ball and got there before Livakovic to make it 1-1.
Then, just before half-time, after some good Morocco chances, Orsic put Croatia back in front with a curling shot which went in off the far post.
