When the smoke cleared after the 2022 World Cup draw, many were sure that Croatia and Belgium would come to the match between them in the last round of Group V with a perfect record, a ticket to the round of 16 and second teams.

In practice, the two European women lost points against Morocco and thus the game between them tonight (Thursday, 17:00, Sport2) became particularly tense.

- Croatia need a draw to ensure qualification for the round of 16.

- Belgium need a win to secure a place in the round of 16.

- Both can still go up together.

For this to happen, they have to be separated by a draw and in the corresponding match, Morocco will lose to Canada by at least four goals.

Another possibility is that Belgium will win by one goal and in the corresponding match Morocco will lose to Canada.

Romelu Lukaku, who prevented a physical confrontation between his teammates a few days ago, was once again left out of the lineup because he is not 100 percent fit, but this time, Andrew Trussard, who took Eden Hazard's place, was added to the lineup along with Dries Martens instead of Yuri Tillmans.

Thibaut Courtois, who made a mistake in the loss to Morocco, makes his 100th appearance in the national uniform.

The Croatians went on the attack with Marko Livaja and Andrej Kramaric finding the back of the net against Canada.

We almost witnessed the fastest goal in World Cup history.

Already after eight seconds, Perišić received the ball in the box and sent a dangerous kick, which narrowly missed the frame of Courtois
