It’s a wonder this game ended goalless. But after 90 minutes, Croatia and Belgium drew 0-0, sending the former into the knockout round and the latter home.
Belgium had ample opportunities in this one, and at times, too little urgency.
In the 48th minute, Yannick Carrasco missed from outside the box, and a minute later half-time substitute Romelu Lukaku had his header saved. In the 60th minute it was Carrasco and Lukaku again. Carrasco’s right-footed strike from distance was blocked, leading to Lukaku’s potential match-winner hitting the near post.
