Andrej Kramaric scored a vital brace for Croatia. Image: PA CROATIA GOT THEIR World Cup campaign back on track as Andrej Kramaric’s double inspired a 4-1 win that eliminated Canada in Sunday’s Group F grudge match in Doha.
Second-half goals from Kramaric and Lovro Majer ensured Croatia could celebrate their first win of the tournament after a goalless draw with Morocco in their first match. In a television interview, Herdman told his players: “They belong here. And we’re going to go and eff Croatia.” Continuing the feud, Dalic claimed Herdman ignored him after the match when the coaches appeared to avoid the traditional handshake at the final whistle.
Canada competed gamely but have now lost all five matches in their World Cup history, with their only previous appearance in 1986 also ending in group-stage elimination.
