Alphonso Davies scored Canada’s first-ever World Cup goal at the fifth try after only two minutes, but two goals from Andrej Kramaric each side of a Marko Livaja effort flipped the game on its head. Substitute Lovro Majer scored a late fourth goal.
Croatia now leads Group F on goal differential, one goal ahead of Morocco, which defeated Belgium 2-0 earlier in the day. Both teams have four points, with Belgium having three.
Canada is at the bottom of the group with nil points and cannot advance.
