'Why is Hakimi angry?' Fans react after Morocco defender's incident with Infantino

Achraf Hakimi was furious after Morocco's 2-1 loss against Croatia in the World Cup third-place playoff and he reportedly took his frustrations out on Fifa President Gianni Infantino.

The North Africans felt they should have won a penalty when Youssef En-Nesyri's header hit Bruno Petkovic's hand. The Atlas Lions appealed unsuccessfully when Hakimi was brought down by a Croatia player in the danger zone.

The decisions did not go down well with Hakimi who approached the Fifa president after the game in the tunnel to voice his frustrations.
