The free-kick was controversial, with the Senegalese players adamantly against it, but the referee stood by his decision, going back to video technology and watching the game from more than one angle.
In turn, the “Archivo VAR” network, which specializes in arbitration cases, expressed its opinion on the decision, emphasizing that Belgium did not deserve a penalty.
The network said on its “X” account. “Wrong video technological intervention in the Belgium-Senegal match”.
He continued. “Tillmans extends his leg forward in front of Kamara’s movement, leading to contact. This shot does not require the intervention of video technology as it was the Belgian player who caused this tackle entirely on purpose and therefore the situation does not qualify as a clear and obvious foul.”
