Katarski sudac Abdulrahman Al Jassim i njegovi suradnici iz VAR sobe izazvali su bijes cijele Hrvatske, ali i zgražanje čitavog svijeta zbog svoje odluke da ne sviraju jedanaesterac zbog prekršaja na Jošku Gvardiolu.
U 74. minuti Gvardiol se ubacio iza leđa marokanske obrane, dobio je odličnu loptu u prostor, ali prilikom dodavanja ga je Sofyan Amrabat udario po lijevoj nozi. Naš je branič pao, a igra se nastavila minutu-dvije. Kad je uslijedio prvi idući prekid, Vatreni su opkolili suca Al Jassima, koji im je pokazao da je na liniji s VAR sobom. Poslije kratkotrajnih konzultacija signalizirao je da ne misli svirati penal, odnosno da se igra dalje.
Odmah nakon takve odluke na društvenim mrežama uslijedile su brojne reakcije. Ljubitelji nogometa sa svih strana svijeta nisu mogli vjerovati da nije dosuđen jedanaesterac za Hrvatsku.
Croatia is robbed for penalty and Moroccoans are acting like they are damaged.... Acting and pressing the ref

Croatia denied 'clearest penalty you will see' by VAR during Morocco World Cup clashhttps://t.co/KSEzGKjtkZ

They (FIFIA) are hopping Morocco will equalize. If it was 3:1 for Croatia, equalizing would be really difficult. So no penalty

Croatia should be up 3-1. 100% penalty on gvardiol

What do Croatia have to do to get a penalty? Scream "Vamos Argentina" in the box while being brought down by their opponents? Crazy how many penalties they've been robbed of in this tournament. #FIFAWorldCup #CROMAR

How is this not a penalty ? Croatia with 0 penalties in the whole world cup.

Meanwhile their cover boy Messi has 4 penalties. What a joke. Refs and VAR have been useless @FIFAWorldCup pic.twitter.com/HFPXJsHJhR
How’s that not a penalty for Croatia?

Never seen any team so unsportsmanlike like Marocco. Fans included. Each one should get a yellow card for attacking the ref. And VAR sleeping? Clear penalty for Croatia. #CROMAR

Morocco are shameless, surrounded the referee earlier in the match for rightfully not giving a corner, and now they are yapping for a penalty when it hit the croatia players back😂😂😂😂bunch of clowns

The worst refereeing performance in the entire WC. Poor from start to finish, capped off with the blatant penalty not given to Croatia for the challenge by Amrabat. Most spineless is the lack of cards for Moroccan players who have shoved him on countless occasions.

A clear and obvious mistake?

Danny Murphy thought this should have been a penalty for Croatia.
