هايتي vs اسكتلندا

In the 78th minute, with Scotland leading 1–0, Haiti attacked and the ball was played into the penalty area. A Scotland player made contact with the ball using their arm, which was extended away from their body — a position that makes the body unnaturally bigger under football's handball laws. Because the arm was not tucked in and the ball was heading toward goal, this should have been penalised as a handball and Haiti awarded a penalty kick. The referee allowed play to continue and, unusually for a FIFA match, no VAR review was conducted. Under the 2025/26 IFAB Laws, an accidental handball in an unnatural arm position inside the penalty area is still an offence — the play-on was the wrong call, and Haiti were denied what should have been a penalty at a crucial stage of the match.
