Haaland couldn’t have interfered with the goalkeeper as there was a defender between them
The said defender was tussling with Haaland and was a 50/50 challenge between them. Something seen between 5/6 opponents every single corner and free kick of EVERY single game.
To suggest that anything other than a perfectly good legal goal was scored by Semenyo is wrong. The fact it took well over 5 minutes to come to the conclusion they did spoke volumes about the integrity of the match officials, the broadcaster and the wider game in general.
VAR will destroy the game in time. And it won’t be long
On the picture above you see the back of the newcastles
Defender on the same line as haarlands heel. Nevermind comparing boot positions. The entire body ( except hands / arms) must be considered.
Further , the goalie was moving in the opposite direction to where Haarland was. As has been said Haarland was being manhandled and the other defender was jumping into Semenyo.
Very dubious decision made there.
You have to be level or behind two opponents. Haaland was clearly in front of the goalie. So the issue was whether he impacted the play or not. I think not.
