Germany was seriously damaged in the 1/4-final of the home European Championship against Spain. This was recognized by UEFA. In the battle to enter the top 4 of the continental championship, Marc Cucurea from Spain stopped a handball from a German football player with a score of 1:1 in the 106th minute of the match. However, referee Anthony Taylor and his VAR colleagues decided that it was not a penalty.
But now the European football headquarters came out with a claim that the referees made a huge mistake. And Anthony Taylor should have pointed to the white point.
“Following the latest UEFA guidelines, a handball that stops a ball flying towards the goal should be sanctioned. In the case of Kukureya, he stops a shot on goal with his hand that is not close to his body, thereby increasing the volume of his body. For this reason, a penalty kick should have been awarded here”, reads the report distributed to the referees.
As is known, Spain eliminated Germany 2:1 after extra time. And later, the Iberians also won Euro 2024.
