Thus, Argentina will face the winner of the other semi-final match between France, the reigning champions, and Morocco, in the final match, set for Sunday, while Croatia, that were looking for their second successive final, will play for the bronze on Saturday.
Croatia won the bronze in the 1998 World Cup in France.
Four years ago, Croatia grabbed the silver after they were beaten by France in the final match in Moscow.
Argentina last reached the World Cup final in 2014 in Brazil, where they lost to Germany.
Fans of the Croatian national football team gathered in squares in cities across Croatia on Tuesday evening despite the cold to watch the World Cup 2022 semi-final match between Croatia and Argentina on the big screens. Braving the freezing temperatures and in some cases rain and strong winds, they cheered on the national football team.
