A late Andrej Kramaric goal gave 2018 World Cup runners-up Croatia a 1-0 friendly win over Saudi Arabia on Wednesday in their final warm-up game before this year's tournament in Qatar.
Hoffenheim forward Kramaric netted with eight minutes left in Riyadh where veteran Real Madrid playmaker Luka Modric appeared as a second-half substitute for Croatia.
The Croatians, who lost 4-2 to France in the final four years ago in Russia, begin their latest World Cup bid against Morocco in Al Khor on 23 November.
