Exceptional in win
Modric assisted once to go with four crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-1 win over Ghana.
Analysis: Modric continues to be hugely influential for Croatia, providing the game‑winning assist to Nikola Vlasic in the 2-1 victory over Ghana. The 40‑year‑old has remained a constant presence in the starting XI, opening all three group‑stage matches and delivering the level of control expected from him. He completed 178 passes with a 91 percent accuracy rate, created five chances, won four tackles, and made seven recoveries, showcasing both his composure and work rate. Modric will remain a central figure for Croatia as they enter the knockout rounds, anchoring the midfield with his experience and vision.
Creates one chance Tuesday
Modric registered one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 1-0 win versus Panama.
Analysis: Modric made his 200th appearance for Croatia Tuesday, an impressive milestone for the 40-year-old. It wasn't his best World Cup appearance, but he still helped his side earn a much-needed victory. He nearly recorded an assist in the 57th minute when he played Marco Pasalic through on goal, but Pasalic flubbed the chance. Modric also took his first shot of the tournament, a weak header attempt in the opening minutes. He played a hard 81 minutes before being subbed off for Mario Pasalic. Next up is the final group stage match versus Ghana, a must-win match in order to finish second in the group.
