The 2022 World Cup is almost coming to an end, and the tournament has added another controversy during the match between Croatia and Morocco. Josko Gvardiol was touched by Amrabat in the box and fell, and fans can’t decide whether it was or not a penalty.
Gvardiol, 20, has been one of the stars of the tournament, despite being the victim of Lionel Messi’s greatness in the semifinal match against Argentina. In the game versus Morocco, Gvardiol scored the first goal with an incredible header, despite wearing a protective mask.
The match has been very fast, with both teams coming back and forth. In the second half, Croatia had a chance to make the third with the defender entering the zone, but Amrabat stopped him and it seemed like he hit him. However, the referee didn’t concede a penalty.

That’s pathetic from the Morocco players and manager towards the ref. The only blatant decision he got wrong was the penalty for the foul on Gvardiol ffs ��
