إنجلترا vs غانا

At 78:40, 0-0, Ghana #25 (Prince) broke through the middle on a counter and beat England #2 for position, pushing the ball ahead into the penalty area. The recovering England defender slid in from behind/the side and caught the attacker's legs before he could reach the ball, bringing him down inside the box. England's goalkeeper then arrived and collided — but with his own defender, not the attacker, so that contact is irrelevant to the foul. The on-field referee waved play on and VAR did not intervene. This is a clear missed penalty: under Law 12 a recovering defender who trips an attacker who has already won position is a careless tripping foul, and inside the penalty area (Law 14) that is a penalty kick. The attacker had beaten his man and was reaching for the ball — exactly the scenario the laws protect. WRONG NO-CALL, HIGH confidence.
