Cakir in charge

TURKEY’S Cuneyt Cakir will take charge of tonight’s World Cup semi-final against Croatia.

The 41-year-old has been involved in controversy at this World Cup, when Nigeria felt they should have had a penalty in their 2-1 defeat to Argentina, with the incident not reviewed.

Cakir refereed Sir Alex Ferguson’s last match in the Champions League in 2013, provoking the manager’s anger after sending off Nani in the last-16 defeat by Real Madrid.

Ferguson said at the time it was “hard to keep faith” after the decision.
