MOSCOW: Croatia defender Domagoj Vida apologised after his team’s World Cup semi-final victory over England on Wednesday after speaking out in support of Russia’s neighbour and adversary Ukraine. Spectators at Wednesday’s match in Moscow booed and whistled the Croatia centre back, after a video posted online earlier in the week showed Vida, a former player with Ukrainian club side Dynamo Kiev, saying “Glory to Ukraine!”. “I know I made a mistake and I would like to apologise again to Russian people,” Vida said, speaking in Russian in a live post-match interview with the Rossiya 24 state TV channel late on Wednesday. “I’m sorry. That’s life. You have to learn from your mistakes,” he added after their 2-1 extra-time win.
