Croatia 2-1 Morocco — xTears 9.77 (17/12/22)
Croatia won 2-1 against Morocco on 17 December 2022 in the third-place playoff of the World Cup, even with the xTears split tilting slightly the other way. Total damage: 9.77 xTears.
Even with the xTears split leaning slightly the other way, the heaviest moments for Croatia still ran through J. Gvardiol at 7' goal (+1.41 xT) and M. Oršić at 42' goal (+1.41 xT).
The scoreboard and xTears did not tell exactly the same story: Croatia punished better without fully owning the emotional volume.
