The controversy was the protagonist at the closing of the match between Colombia and Portugal in Miami. When the clock ticked down to the end of the match, Davinson Sánchez hit a shot that ended up inside the Portuguese goal and unleashed euphoria among the Colombian fans present at the Hard Rock Stadium.
The celebration did not last long. The referee decided to review the play in the VAR and ended up invalidating the goal due to an advanced position that generated doubts among those present due to how close the final decision was.
The annulment ended up rescuing a point for Portugal, which otherwise would have left the Hard Rock Stadium with a defeat that reflected, depending on the development of the match, the difference in level shown on the field of play during the 90 minutes.
With the final score of 0-0, Colombia secured first place in Group K, while Portugal closed the group stage in second place. The action remained one of the most talked about moments of the last day and reopened the debate about the weight of this type of refereeing decisions in games where dominance on the field is not always reflected on the scoreboard.
How are they going to annul this goal against Colombia?
It’s not offside, what a steal.
