Spain scored in stoppage time (93:05 +6) but the goal was correctly disallowed for offside on manual review. The Spain attacker was clearly past Saudi Arabia's last defender β€” well beyond the "borderline cm" zone β€” at the moment the ball was last played by a team-mate. SAOT was unavailable for the match, so the VAR team relied on hand-traced lines, but a clear-and-obvious offside doesn't need technology to resolve: the broadcast angle alone shows the gap. The "clear and obvious error" VAR threshold for overturning the on-field goal was met, and the manual overturn was the right call. Score correctly reverted from 5-0 to 4-0.
