Croatia have sealed their qualification to the round of 16 following a 3-0 win over Argentina on Thursday night.
After 54 minutes, Croatia took the lead, A sublime volley by Rebic but he should never have scored. Caballero, the Chelsea goalkeeper, was well out of position in the Argentina goal and had no chance of making a save. He could only watch as the ball flew past him into the top corner.
