WORLD CUP 2022 – It could have been the turning point of this Croatia-Brazil. This Friday 9 December, on the occasion of the first of the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the left wing gold-green Danilo came close to being red-carded after foul interference past Croatian right-back Josip Juranović.
How You can see it belowin the 24th minute, when Juranović turned towards the penalty area Selection following a perfect header following a nice deep opening, the Juventus Turin left defender arrived at full speed with his foot very high to stop his vis-à-vis.
An extremely polemical defensive gesture that earned its author a simple yellow card, despite the violence of the shock and the visual impression left by the contact between the two men.
Also, on social networks, many people were surprised by the leniency of Michael Oliver, the English referee of this match. And the non-intervention of the referee video, which, let’s remember, is competent to seize itself in the event of a possible red card.

This could have had a bad outcome – was Danilo lucky to only get one booking? 🤔 https://t.co/F88goN02jt

The fact remains that after a free kick taken by Ballon d’Or 2018 Luka Modric who gave nothing away, the Brazilians were able to breathe. And perhaps even more so than if Danilo hadn’t stepped in and Juranović had been able to carry out his offensive. At halftime, the Croatians and Brazilians excelled, entering the locker room with the score (0-0).
