Argentina’s second goal against England in the semi-finals of the World Cup yesterday, Wednesday, caused a lot of controversy, especially since it gave them a place in the final.
Many, including refereeing experts, confirmed that the goal should have been disallowed due to a foul on Argentina star Lionel Messi when he interfered with England’s Jed Spence.
Messi made a great pass in the 92nd minute, and Lautaro Martinez rose to it and headed it into the goal. Giving Argentina a place in the finalwhich is scheduled for next Sunday’s match against Spain.
The “Archivo Far” network, specializing in arbitration cases, said in its “X” account: “There is a foul on Spence by Messi before Lautaro’s goal, the answer is no.”
He continued. “Although in some footage the scene may look like a leg has been trampled, this has not happened.”
“Actually, Spence is complaining of cramping in the opposite, left leg.”
Notably, there were those who doubted the authenticity of Messi’s first goal as he passed the ball to Enzo Fernandez on the edge of the penalty area and he rocketed into the net.
Some claimed that Messi was offside when the ball reached him before the decisive pass, but Archivo Var denied this.
“The Argentine star is further from goal than almost all English defenders. It is enough to look at the grass lines and notice how close Messi is to one of them.”
