Incident
Foul (outside box)
Law cited
Law 12 — tripping an opponent is a foul even if the fouling player wins the ball straight afterwards
Recommended action
The build-up foul should have been called, stopping the attack before it started — and failing that, VAR should have reviewed the attacking phase and cancelled the penalty.

About 15 seconds before Brazil's first-half penalty, a Brazil player tripped a Norway opponent in midfield to win the ball — no foul given, no VAR review — and that possession led straight to the penalty. This is a wrong decision. A trip is a foul even when the fouler wins the ball, and a penalty that flows from a possession begun by a foul is reviewable and should be cancelled under the attacking-possession-phase protocol. The penalty incident itself may be a foul in isolation, but the correct overall outcome is no penalty, because the ball was won illegally. WRONG DECISION, medium confidence.
