"The team have apologized. Currently, yes [the incident is over]," Golodets told journalists.

After Croatia beat Russia 4-3 on penalties in the World Cup quarter-finals, a video appeared on social media showing Croatia defender Domagoj Vida chanting "Glory to Ukraine!" and Croatia coaching assistant Ognjen Vukojevic saying "This is a victory for Dynamo [Kiev] and Ukraine."

The Croatian Football Federations later suspended Vukojevic from his duties at the World Cup, while the FIFA Disciplinary Committee fined him $15,000 for unsporting behavior.

Vida avoided a ban, and soon a fresh video showing him say "Glory to Ukraine!" was published.

Later, Vida apologized for chanting pro-Ukrainian slogans.
