Tournament breakout star Gvardiol put Croatia ahead after seven minutes, only for Morocco to equalize 112 seconds later through Achraf Dari.
It was then a thrilling contest with Croatia’s midfield looking to maintain control of the ball, but Morocco’s lightning-quick counter-attacks saw a few efforts fall short.
Just before the break, Mislav Orsic sent a curling shot off the post and in to put Croatia up 2-1.
Coming out into the second half, the match quieted down on the pitch, with both sides forced to make multiple substitutions due to injuries.
Yet, with around 20 minutes to go, tempers flared again as Croatia and Morocco each appealed for penalties, but nothing came of the claims.
