Petar Sučić
Scores first goal
Sucic scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Ghana.
Analysis: Sucic opened the scoring for Croatia, playing a key role in the 2-1 victory over Ghana. He started two of the three group‑stage matches, contributing a goal and an assist while maintaining an 86 percent pass accuracy and winning nine duels. His influence in midfield has been clear, and if Croatia continue with their 4‑2‑3‑1 setup, he has a strong case to remain in the starting XI for the knockout rounds.
Credited with assist in loss
Sucic assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to England.
Analysis: Sucic was credited with the assist on the goal scored by Martin Baturina, but to be fair, the Como playmaker deserves all the credit for the goal. Sucic should be a regular starter for Croatia in the upcoming group-stage matches as well.
Tallies 13 crosses in draw
Sucic registered two shots (one on goal), 13 crosses (three accurate) and nine corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Verona.
Analysis: Sucic stepped up to take corner kicks in the absence of Hakan Calhanoglu (calf) and Federico Dimarco, and one of his deliveries forced Andrias Edmundsson's own goal that opened the scoring Sunday. With Sucic earning increased playing time and making offensive contributions in recent games, he might continue to play a meaningful role in central midfield, although he's not guaranteed to take set pieces when at least one of the two primary takers is on the pitch.
