Alvarez, who has already impressed with Manchester City had his shot to fame in this match when he score five minutes later, doubling the lead before the half-time.

Messi’s magic continued to amuse Croats as he delivered one of the best assists of the tournament to Alvarez, who scored his brace nine minutes after the hour mark, to put the competition to bed.
