Serbia beat Croatia in Rio and during the press conference the coach of losing side, Aco Petrovic accused the referees for bad calls which decided the outcome.
As he said: “In the last 30 seconds the refs made two decisions that directly decided the winner. It was a perfectly obvious foul made by Raduljica which was not called and an unsportsmanlike foul by Jokic, which also was not called. That whould amound to four free throws for us and victory. I congratulate Serbia on the victory, but I think that we could also have a chance against Australia in the semi-finals”.
Speaking about the game, Petrovic mentioned again the referees: “It was decided in the beginning of the third quarter. In the first five minutes we played without a point guard, because Ukic had three personal fouls. All the rest is history”.
