DOHA - Anyone who says that the play-off for third place should be gone away with because nobody wants to play it, would be well advised to watch a replay of the entertaining game produced by Croatia and Morocco on Saturday night.

Croatia were the well-deserved winners after first half goals from Josko Gvardiol and Mislac Orsic gave them a 2-1 lead to repeat their third-place finish from 1998, and the reactions from both teams and fans show that the result of this game did matter a lot.
