FIFA is reportedly attempting to cover up footage of Morocco star Achraf Hakimi confronting president Gianni Infantino following the World Cup third-place play-off to Croatia.
Hakimi's Morroco, who stunned the tournament with their magical run to the semi-finals, were unable to earn the bronze medal in Qatar after superb goals from Josko Gvardiol and Mislav Orsic gave Croatia victory at Khalifa International Stadium on Saturday. While they could've blamed themselves for a slew of missed chances, Morocco were furious with the officiating in the hotly-contested match.
Central to their anger was the fact the Atlas Lions were denied a penalty for handball when striker Youssef En-Nesyri's header hit Bruno Petkovic - only for replays to show the ball hit his back. Morocco were also left fuming when Hakimi went down under a challenge from the same Croatian forward, who didn't receive a booking as Qatari referee Abdulrahman Al-Jassim waved play on.
