In the dying moments of the crucial match between Croatia and Portugal, Igor Matanovic's apparent goal was disallowed after VAR identified the slightest contact before the ball crossed the line. The decision left the Croatian star incensed and questioning the validity of such technology-driven calls in football.

The raw emotions were evident as the Croatia star expressed his frustration over what he deemed as a harsh decision that influenced the outcome of the game. The fine margins that VAR operates within have once again sparked debate on its impact on the sport.

Head coach Zlatko Dalic did not hold back in his criticism of the refereeing decisions that ultimately led to Croatia's elimination from the competition. The contentious nature of VAR interventions continues to be a talking point, raising questions about its role in the sport.
