Croatia respond after conceding first
Alphonso Davies scored Canada's first men's World Cup goal, but Croatia recovered to win 4–1. The result gave Croatia their first victory and ended Canada's chance of advancing. For the eventual third-place finishers, it supplied the scoring return needed between goalless draws against Morocco and Belgium.
