Luka Modric

could not leave a World Cup through the back door.

Football couldn't punish him like that without at least giving

a chance at redemption .

His stumble against Morocco became forgivable when the attack on

was greater, but the Balkans, runners-up in the World, left a thorn that they needed to remove against

.

It was either that or travel on the wire of a last day of vertigo.

Led by the Real Madrid player, they overcame their demons with a win that leaves them alive to play their first final against the Belgians and hope that Canada, without options, will not take a nap against

.

[Narration and statistics]

The first blow caught Croatia without having tied its boots.

In three touches Canada dragged them into its chaos.

Long ball from goalkeeper Borjan that Cyle Larin lands and serves it to the band so that Buchanan looks for the center.

He then emerges on a flight over defender

to redeem himself for the missed penalty against Belgium.

To leave his goal in the World Cup to which his country returned 36 years after the first time.

To forget those tears with which he celebrated qualifying in a room in Munich with myocarditis caused by Covid.

An exorcism just before parting.

Canada believed in its own chaos even though it faced an unreliable rival.

Annoying her was gaining survival points, something they achieved by generating doubts in defense and attack.

But only for the first moments.

Those that Modric took to pause and order the madness.

Croatia shook off the initial stun and began to baste without the Canadians finding a way to stop them, leaning on their own ability to surprise.

That's why the draw came.

Kovacic found Perisic at the top of the box while

drew him where he wanted the ball to level the score.

The Hoffenheim striker did not fail, turned into a nightmare for the Canadian defense.

Like Juranovic, who in his internship from the band was dodging rivals with pipes until he found

to score the second goal.

Croatia had broken Canada.

She stole the ball from him and his madness corseted her.

Davies could no longer run and without chaos, the North American team has no springs.

Even so, the start of the second half was back and forth again.

Osorio tried to cut the score and again

was able to increase it.

Even Jonathan David forced Livakovic to save a shot centered from the croissant.

The game died when

, with masterful control only on the penalty spot, beat Borjan.

Impossible for Canada to overcome despite the fact that they did not stop trying in a crazy way until

, at the last moment, closed the rout that, given the equality of the group, could end up being a weapon in favor of the Croats.
