إنجلترا vs النرويج

England were given a penalty in extra time when their attacker went down in the box, but a VAR review had the referee overturn it because the attacker put his leg in front of the defender to initiate the contact. This is correct. A penalty needs a foul by the defender, and where the attacker manufactures the contact rather than being tripped, there is no offence — contact and a fall are not automatically a penalty. The on-field penalty was the clear error, and the VAR overturn corrected it. CORRECT DECISION, medium confidence — it flips only if a replay shows the defender clearly caught the attacker's standing leg first.
