Although Russia tried, but I also think Croatia deserved it more. Like @geekis stated below, both teams played not to lose. But Croatia had the game more than Russia to me. And if any of them were not to be lucky, then Croatia should be the team. Croatia had more good chances to bury the game than Russia. Russia relied on defensive play/counter attacking football. This wasn't the case for Croatia.
