The third-place match at the 2022 World Cup got off to a bang. 

Without a championship on the line, Croatia and Morocco faced off Saturday night in Qatar, and the two teams did not disappoint as Croatia won the third-place match, 2-1.

Croatia, which failed to reach the World Cup Final in back-to-back tournaments after losing to Argentina in the semifinal, quickly got on the board.
