Croatia thrash Argentina 3-0 to qualify from Group D
- 6 years ago
Another exciting day of football action at the World Cup in Russia.
Croatia grabbed all the headlines with their stunning victory over Argentina in Group D.
In Group C, France cruise through to the knockout phase of the tournament,... sweeping aside Peru... who will be on the plane home after their final group match.
Lee Seung-jae has the details,... starting with the day's first game: Denmark versus Australia.
Day-8 of the 2018 Russia World Cup began at the Samara Arena,... where Denmark squared off against Australia in Group C.
Early in the game,... Christian Eriksen's shot from the center of the box,... found the back of the net,... giving Denmark a one-nil lead.
It stayed that way until the 38th minute,... when the video assistant referee awarded Australia a penalty.
Mile Jedinak smashed the penalty home to make it one-one... and that's how it ended.
The result means Denmark need to avoid defeat in their final Group C match against France to be certain of reaching the last 16.
Australia can still qualify but must beat Peru to have any hope.
The next game saw France,... one of the favorites at this year's World Cup,... take on Peru at the Central Stadium in Yekaterinburg.
Peru,... looking to pull off an upset,... started at a fierce pace,... but failed to capitalize on several early chances.
Instead it was Kylian Mbappe,... who became France's youngest-ever
World Cup goal scorer at the age of 19,... with a close-range strike in the 33rd minute to give France the one-nil victory.
The win means France are through to the knockout phase.
With two losses out of two,... Peru have no hope of extending their stay in Russia.
The day's last game saw Argentina take on Croatia in Nizhny Novgorod.
Argentina were looking to bounce back from their draw against Iceland in Group D against an underrated Croatian side.
A scoreless first half,... but a 53rd minute goal by Ante Rebic broke the deadlock after a terrible mistake by the goalkeeper.
The Argentine defense proceeded to collapse as Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic scored late in the match,... to give Croatia a stunning 3-0 victory.
With the win,... Croatia advances to the knockout stages.
Argentina, on the other hand, are facing the prospect of an early World Cup exit.
