Euro 2024 — Finał (Hiszpania - Anglia)

[Michał M]

UEFA Referees Committee has now admitted that a penalty should have been awarded to Germany against Spain following Marc Cucurella's handball. The committee has informed the international referees that there was an error in that play and it should have ended in a penalty. The situation has been included in the latest review by the organisation, which periodically analyses European matches in order to standardise the criteria and ensure that the referees make the same decisions in similar plays

The document reads: "Following the latest UEFA guidelines, hand-to-ball contact that stops a shot on goal should be punished more strictly, and in most cases a penalty kick should be awarded, unless the defender's arm is very close to the body or in contact with the body. In this case [Cucurella], the defender stops the shot on goal with his arm, which is not very close to the body, making himself bigger, so a penalty kick should have been awarded"


Trzeba zrobić reasumpcję Euro

Swoją drogą, Niemcy mogą czuć się rozgoryczeni. To jest oczywiście gdybanie, ale wtedy przy stanie 1:1 karny dla nich mógł rozstrzygnąć mecz na ich korzyść.
