centering the third div inside the container div – Html

I am trying to figure out on centering this specific div block, the container has 3 div box which is the homeBox, awayBox, and newGame. the first two boxes are in the perfect position because I use the flexbox but the issue is the third div block is out of position, I try to write a display flex set it to align-item: center for the class of newGame but it doesn’t work.

The third div block is the button which is on the right side of the container 

* {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
  font-family: "Karla", sans-serif;
  font-size: 16px;
  background-color: hsl(204, 43%, 93%);
}

section {

    Try adding

    margin: auto;

    to .newGame button

    Have in mind that .newgame is inside the .awayBox
    So, to center .newgame button relative to that box, just remove

    .newGame {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
}

    from .newGame and change it with:

    .newGame {
  text-align:center;
}

    If you want to center it relative to the two upper divs, move the html out of awayBox

    you have a div not closing. awayBox is double used!

    What about using a grid? Grid is really to build 2 dimensions structure.

    * {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
  font-family: "Karla", sans-serif;
  font-size: 16px;
  background-color: hsl(204, 43%, 93%);
}

section {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  min-height: 100vh;
  width: 100%;
  padding: 100px 30px;
}

.container {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-rows: 1fr 1fr;
  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
  gap: 30px;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  max-width: 650px;
  max-height: 385px;
  background: #1b244a;
  border-radius: 20px;
  padding: 20px;
  position: relative;
}

.container>div {
  align-self: center;
  justify-self: center;
}

.homeBox {
  grid-area: 1 / 1 / 2 / 2;

    I’d introduce rows, with the class container-row.

    This way you can change the formatting of each row so the button is nicely centered in the middle below the other row

    * {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
  font-family: "Karla", sans-serif;
  font-size: 16px;
  background-color: hsl(204, 43%, 93%);
}

section {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  min-height: 100vh;
  width: 100%;
  padding: 100px 30px;
}

.container {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-around;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  max-width: 650px;
  max-height: 385px;
  background: #1b244a;
  border-radius: 20px;
  position: relative;
  flex-direction: column;
}

.container>div {
  padding: 30px;
}

.container-row {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
}

.space-around {
  justify-content: space-around;
}

h3 {
  text-align: center;
  color: white;
  font-size: 40px;
  margin-bottom: 25px;
}

.scoreBox {
  background: black;
  width: 100%;
  min-width: 155px;
  min-height: 120px;
  border-radius: 15px;
  margin-bottom: 20px;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}

.scoreBox h1 {
  color: red;
  font-size: 6.8em;
}

.scoreBtn {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-around;
}

.scoreBtn>* {
  padding: 10px 10px;
}

.scoreBtn button {
  background-color: transparent;
  width: 45px;
  height: 45px;
  border-color: #9aabd8;
  border-radius: 5px;
  color: white;
  font-family: 'Karla', sans-serif;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.scoreBtn button:hover {
  background-color: #408c99;

    I fix the problem by using the grid and also I find some problems in your HTML Code so here are the codes.

    HTML Code:

     <section>
        <div class="container">
          <div class="homeBox">
             <h3>HOME</h3>
             <div class="scoreBox">
                 <h1 id="scoreHome">0</h1>
             </div>
             <div class="scoreBtn">
                 <button>+1</button>
                 <button>+2</button>
                 <button>+3</button>
             </div>
          </div>
          <div class="newGame">
            <button>New Game</button>
          </div>
          <div class="awayBox">
            <div class="awayBox">
              <h3>AWAY</h3>
              <div class="scoreBox">
                <h1 id="scoreAway">0</h1>
              </div>
              <div class="scoreBtn">
