Serbia"I FEEL DESTROYED! I WISH I HAD SOME CLEAR JUDGMENTS" The Croat raised his voice and opened fire on the referees after a shocking defeat: Three goals were annulled
The Croatian national football team was eliminated from the World Cup after a 1-2 defeat to Portugal in the round of 16. The match, played in Toronto, saw a dramatic finish where Portugal came from behind to win. Croatia took an early lead through Ivan Perisic, but Portugal turned the game around with goals from Cristiano Ronaldo (penalty) and Goncalo Rama in stoppage time. The result sparked significant controversy over the officiating decisions, particularly regarding three missed goals by Croatia. Player Petar Sucic expressed frustration with the referee's calls, claiming they were unfair and questioned specific incidents such as a potential handball by Matanovic and his own goal being incorrectly ruled offside. Despite the loss, Sucic praised his team's performance and acknowledged the emotional impact of the match.
