It was right to cancel Konate’s goal, while the decisive penalty awarded to the Reds was a big mistake
In the 13th minute, just the only yellow for Lautaro: he retracts his legs in the bad contact with Robertson. In the 31st minute, goal from Konaté: here the VAR does the right thing because it shows contact – after Van Dijk’s header – from Ekitike with an open arm. Network canceled: ok. In the 39th minute, Thuram’s shot was intercepted by Van Dijk’s arm in keeping with the dynamics. In the 38th minute, the penalty: Bastoni holds Wirtz’s shirt, a non-repeated and non-overwhelming gesture. The call and also the penalty awarded were excessive.
