Moscow: England’s Harry Kane won the Golden Boot award while Croatia captain Luka Modric walked away with the Golden Ball of the 2018 FIFA World Cup here on Sunday.
Modric claimed man-of-the-match award three times during the tournament in seven matches of Croatia. But he was powerless against the rise of French young star Kylian Mbappe. France’s 19-year-old striker Mbappe was the winner of the Young Player Award, which he won after scoring his fourth goal of the tournament in the finals, which France won by 4-2.
Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who made 27 saves, was named as the winner of the Golden Glove, reported Xinhua news agency. Courtois emerged as the best custodian after conceding just five goals in seven matches. Kane ended with six goals; two more than Antoine Griezmann, who was joined on four by Romelu Lukaku of Belgium and Russia’s Denis Cheryshev.
