Juan Foyth and Angel Correa make their first appearances of the tournament for Argentina in place of Alexis Mac Allister and Nahuel Molina.A smartly worked corner by Croatia sees the ball sent to the near post for Ivan Perisic, who heads on to the far post, but Dejan Lovren can't get on the end of it.Alexis Mac Allister nearly makes it 4-0 Argentina with a sharp volley from a cross but it goes narrowly wide.
Outside of the match against Canada, Croatia have now only managed two goals in 465 minutes of play plus stoppage time. Can they score two in the next 45 minutes? Mario Mandzukic, Ivica Olic, and Davor Suker aren't walking through that door.Croatia look to get back in it but a cross/shot from Juranovic is denied by Argentina keeper Martinez. Pasalic can't do much with the rebound.
Croatia get a cross into the box through Ivan Perisic from the left but it's too close to Argentina keeper Emiliano Martinez.Argentina midfielder Rodrigo de Paul sends a diagonal ball from the right in an attempt to find an unmarked Nicolas Tagliafico but Croatia goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic collects easily.Argentina's Nahuel Molina chases down a searching ball down the right but can't find a teammate with a cross.
Croatian fans are severely outnumbered but that's no matter to a nation that has consistently punched above its weight.Accounting for Croatia's dream midfield trio of Luka Modric, Marcelo Brozovic and Mateo Kovacic, Argentina has shifted from a 3-5-2 formation with two wingbacks to a more traditional 4-4-2 formation. That adjustment may also be partially due to the absence of regular starting left wingback Marcos Acuna due to suspension.
