Martínez denies lucky call after record four goals ruled out

Portugal manager Roberto Martínez insists there was no 'lucky call' after a record four goals were disallowed in their World Cup last-16 victory over Croatia.

Portugal manager Roberto Martínez commended the VAR interventions that helped his side edge past Croatia, insisting no 'lucky call' was made.

The match saw a record four goals disallowed: three for Croatia and one for Cristiano Ronaldo. The final incident came in stoppage time when Josko Gvardiol was ruled offside after a snick-o-meter detected ball contact with a teammate's head. blablasex.es
