Croatia are eliminated from the World Cup after a late equaliser is disallowed following VAR intervention, drawing criticism from Luka Modrić. Late in the match, Josko Gvardiol scores deep into stoppage time, but the goal is ruled out because VAR determines there was an offside offence in the preceding phase. As a result, Croatia fail to secure a draw and exit the tournament. Modrić responds to the controversy by questioning the decision, saying there is “no evidence.” The reports focus on the disputed offside call that overturns the late goal, and on Modrić’s reaction to what he views as an unfounded VAR ruling. Both accounts describe the same sequence: a stoppage-time Croatia goal by Gvardiol, VAR review, the offside conclusion, and Croatia’s elimination. Neither source provides additional corroborating detail beyond the VAR reasoning and Modrić’s comments.
