Nets game winner
Vlasic scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Ghana.
Analysis: Vlasic secured second place in Group L with a crucial 83rd‑minute goal in Croatia's 2-1 win over Ghana. It came in his first World Cup start, having made only one prior appearance in the tournament. The impact of that moment, combined with his overall output, two shots, 35 touches, and an 88 percent pass accuracy across 100 minutes, strengthens his case for a larger role moving forward. His showing demonstrated clear attacking intent and reliability on the ball, giving Croatia another viable option as the knockout rounds begin.
