France beat Croatia 4-2 to win World Cup
MOSCOW, July 15, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – France won the World Cup for the second time in their history after beating Croatia 4-2 in the final in Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium on Sunday.
Mario Mandzukic’s 18th-minute own goal set France on the way to a 4-1 lead before French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris made a terrible error to hand Mandzukic a goal and give Croatia late hope.
