At the Al Bayt Stadium, defending champions Croatia and runners-up from four years ago drew 0-0 in their opening World Cup match.
Only four of the players who competed in their last loss to France in 2018 began this game, and they lacked an offensive spark throughout, though Nikola Vlasic’s poked effort gave them the closest chance.
Although remarkable, Morocco did not produce any glaring opportunities.

Impressive players from the Moroccan side included in-form Achraf Hakimi, Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat and the defensive pairing of Nayef Aguerd and captain Romain Saïss.
Belgium play Canada in the other Group F game later today at 19:00 GMT.
