Modric and co. hang on _ Croatia v Belgium _ FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

Croatia get this Group F match underway, a match which is effectively a knockout match at Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium. And Croatia with an early shot on goal, which flies past Tibar Courtois' goal. Plays it through to Mertens. Perovic, oh, and it was Kovacic with the final shot. Beaten away, corner kick. It's it back from Lavia. Luka Modric, again Courtois with the save. De Bruyne, in behind Lukaku. Carrasco, it's Yannick Carrasco. Lukaku, he's hit the post. So, so close to what would have been a huge goal for Belgium. Hazard, lovely touch. De Bruyne, oh Lukaku the free header. Plays it wide, Castagna. Castagna to drive it in, it was towards Lukaku. Lukaku couldn't turn it in from Thomas Meunier's ball. Jeremy Doku advancing on the penalty area. Still Doku, Jeremy Doku still. Hazard, Torgan Hazard puts it across Lukaku. Oh, extraordinary. Can't believe it. I can't believe it. Croatia nil, Belgium nil.
