오스트리아 vs 요르단

In the 100th minute of Austria vs Jordan, with Austria leading 2–1, a Jordan defender inside their own penalty area made contact with the ball using their hand or arm. VAR identified this as a possible handball penalty, the referee reviewed it at the pitchside monitor, and confirmed that the Jordan defender's arm was in an unnatural position — making their body bigger — when the ball struck it. Under Law 12, this is a handball offence regardless of whether it was intentional, because the arm was in an unnatural position inside the penalty area. A penalty kick was correctly awarded to Austria, which was subsequently converted, making the final score 3–1. The VAR review process worked exactly as designed: identifying a clear handball that the on-field referee initially missed, triggering an on-field confirmation, and resulting in the correct decision.
