From a set-piece into a crowded Norway vs France penalty area, a France defender tripped a Norway attacker, and the referee pointed to the spot. VAR reviewed the penalty and confirmed it. The decision is correct: a trip is one of the clearest direct-free-kick offences under Law 12, and unlike the mutual grappling that clutters most corners, it is a one-sided foul — the defender took the attacker's legs. Inside the penalty area, a trip is a penalty under Law 14. With the on-field referee awarding it and VAR confirming on review, two independent layers of officiating reached the same conclusion. CORRECT DECISION, HIGH confidence.
