Croatian coach Zlatko Dalic was obviously disappointed after his team’s 0-3 defeat to Lionel Messi’s Argentina in the first semi-final at the Lusail Stadium on Tuesday night. But there was a tinge of frustration in his voice too while speaking about how Argentina got their opening goal.

Italian referee Daniele Orsato had no hesitation in pointing to the spot and Messi scored off the spot-kick.
