The hotly contested goal in the first half, which put the score at 1-2, remains a subject of intense debate due to the lack of conclusive video evidence. Despite the presence of 36 cameras, both the television broadcast and VAR were unable to provide a clear view to determine if the ball crossed the line. The goal was not awarded after the VAR review due to insufficient visual confirmation.
The Twitter account @GxlDeFerminn shared a snapshot of the moment when the player crossed the ball, showing a cameraman focusing on the goal line to determine its trajectory. However, according to Jordi Basté on ‘El Món a RAC 1,’ technical issues plagued both the television broadcast and VAR, rendering them incapable of capturing the crucial moment.
While the camera that could have resolved the controversy was not functioning during the goal in question, footage captured by the same camera was available for the player’s subsequent goal in the 91st minute. This footage shows the player celebrating his goal near the corner flag where the controversial goal originated in the 28th minute.
