It looked like Croatia had a potential penalty opportunity in Group F against Belgium with Luka Modric stepping up to the spot to take the kick. A win over Belgium would send Croatia into the knockout round, while a draw would also be enough to see the 2018 runners-up through. However, the referee decided to look further into the play with VAR and the system found a player to be offside.
