FIFA U17 World Cup: Croatia cruise into last 8 knocking out Germany

Croatia booked a place in the last eight of the FIFA U-17 World Cup with a 2-0 victory against Germany in their first ever knockout game at this level.

Talismanic captain Nikola Moro grabbed the opening goal of the game in the first half, and Davor Lovren's late goal sealed the victory. That stoppage time breakaway goal relieved a period of extended German pressure and rubberstamped a win that will see the Croats head to Chillan for a quarter-final showdown with Mali on Sunday.
