Croatia are planning to lodge a report with football’s governing body over a disallowed goal in their earlier defeat to Portugal.

The controversy centers on their goal in the dying seconds of the game which was initially given on the field, but later overturned using data housed within the match ball itself, which detected a microscopic touch by a Croatian player that rendered the goal offside. 

Croatia argues this level of scrutiny goes against the spirit of VAR as it relies on data that fans and players cannot see in real time.
