Crotian President Celebrated The Victory Of His Nation Against Russia

Ivan Rakitic scored the winning penalty as Croatia beat Russia 4-3 in a shoot-out after a dramatic 2-2 draw in extra-time on Saturday to end the World Cup hopes of the host nation and advance to the semi-final where they face England. Croatia’s President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic was present in the Russian Black Sea city of Sochi to support her country’s football team as they made it to the World Cup semi-finals for only the second time since becoming an independent nation. Seated beside FIFA President Gianni Infantino and Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in the VIP section, she was seen raising her hands and doing a little victory dance to celebrate Croatia’s second goal in front of a packed Fisht Stadium. The host country’s PM was clearly not amused and chose to look the other way as Croatia’s first female president enjoyed every moment of her team dumping Russia out of the tournament.
