What happened: In the 62nd minute, Alexis Mac Allister appealed for a penalty after being pushed off the ball by Dayot Upamecano. Possible penalty: Foul by Upamecano on Mac Allister In chasing Di Maria and getting so close to his opponent, it effectively resulted in Dembele running into Di Maria's leg and causing the Argentina forward to clip his own feet together, causing him to go to ground. He is deemed responsible for the space he holds. It may well not have been a penalty through VAR had Marciniak not awarded it himself.Īrguably Dembele doesn't really even make a challenge for the ball, but intent isn't relevant when judging penalty situations. The decision of the referee carries most weight, and as soon as the VAR could identify contact leading to the trip, it wouldn't be overturned. VAR review: This was certainly a soft penalty, but it's not one the VAR, Tomasz Kwiatkowski, would ever look to overturn. VAR decision: Penalty stands, scored by Lionel Messi. Polish referee Szymon Marciniak pointed to the penalty spot. Angel Di Maria had skipped past Ousmane Dembele into the box and went to ground under an apparent trip. What happened: Argentina were awarded a penalty in the 21st minute.
