Nemanja Matic described referee Felix Brych as a “disaster” after Serbia’s last-gasp World Cup defeat to Switzerland on Friday.
Serbia had taken an early lead through Aleksandar Mitrovic, but conceded second-half goals from Granit Xhaka and Xherdan Shaqiri to leave them needing a win over Brazil in their final Group E game to qualify for the last 16.
Mitrovic had been denied what looked a clear penalty before Shaqiri’s winner, the 23-year-old wrestled to the ground by Fabian Schar and Stephan Lichtsteiner at the far post.
A free-kick was even given to Switzerland for the incident, much to the frustration of Matic, who had choice words for Brych.
“He did not punish evenly. He could have looked at VAR. He gave us cards, but did not call every foul against us.”
Serbia face Brazil next.
