Although it was ADavies' early header that seemed to motivate Croatia and ultimately led to their win, it was still a valiant effort from the Canadian team.
The match was one of the most entertaining of the tournament so far, with both sides putting up a good fight.

Morocco turned Group F on its head on Sunday when they earned an impressive and fully-deserved 2-0 win against a strangely out-of-sorts Belgium side.
They have now kept six clean sheets, including both games in Qatar, and assuming they don't slip up against eliminated Canada, they could prove difficult to beat in the knockout stages.
This was a massive win for Morocco, who now have a great chance of making it out of the group stages.
They have shown that they can compete with the best teams in the world, and if they can keep up this level of performance, they could go far in the tournament.
The number one team in North America, Canada's World Cup hopes were dashed as they lost both matches and will be playing for pride.
Morocco will qualify for the next round with a win, putting them at the top of the group if Croatia fails to beat Belgium.
A draw or a loss would still see Morocco through to the next round if Belgium also loses to Croatia. The prediction is Morocco to win the match.
