North African side Morocco have held 2018 runners-up Croatia to a goalless draw at the ongoing 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

No team managed to edge the other in what was a fairly balanced game at the Al Bayt Stadium.

It was the third goalless draw in the competition after Tunisia versus Denmark and Poland versus Mexico all ended barren.

The draw also means that African representatives have so far managed two draws and one defeat in three matches so far.

Ghana and Cameroon will complete the first round of group-stage matches for the African teams when they come up against Portugal and Switzerland in Group H and G respectively.
