In a controversial moment during the Germany vs. Denmark World Cup qualifier, a goal was disallowed for Germany in the 4th minute. Nico Schlotterbeck headed the ball into the net off a corner kick, seemingly giving Germany an early lead. However, the goal was immediately ruled out without a VAR check. The reason for the disallowance was a foul called on Joshua Kimmich during the build-up, as he brought down Andreas Skov Olsen.
The decision sparked debate as replays showed that Schlotterbeck was clearly onside and in a good position to score. Additionally, the contact between Kimmich and Skov Olsen appeared minimal, with some arguing that it was not enough to warrant a foul call.
This incident highlights the contentious nature of refereeing decisions in football, especially when VAR is involved. While some argue that the foul call was justified, others believe that the goal should have stood, leading to an intense discussion about the role of technology and human judgment in the sport.
