In the 45th minute, Bernardo Silva fell after a collision with Robin Le Normand in the middle of the field but the referee did not blow the whistle. Spain took advantage of the opportunity to organize a quick attack.
Pedri broke free, created an assist for Mikel Oyarzabal to finish accurately, putting Spain ahead 2-1.
Controversial moment before Spain's goal. |
The Portuguese reacted strongly, believing that Silva had been fouled in the challenge. Slow-motion video showed that Le Normand had made an impact from behind on the Man City midfielder. However, Swiss referee Scharer did not consult VAR and decided to award the goal to the defending champions.
"A blatant robbery," one fan commented. "What did VAR do in this situation?", a second asked. "Every sensitive situation in a final has to be consulted with VAR, Mr. Scharer ruined everything," a third fan was upset.
The Nations League final was dramatic for 90 minutes and both extra periods but still could not determine the winner. In the penalty shootout, Alvaro Morata became the sinner for Spain with a missed kick in the 4th round. Immediately after that, Ruben Neves took the opportunity to make Portugal the 2024/25 Nations League champion.
