Países Bajos vs Uzbekistán

The VAR system correctly overturned the initial penalty award to a free kick for Uzbekistan, having determined that the Netherlands player's handball contact with the ball occurred just outside the penalty area rather than inside it. The frames do show a Netherlands player with both arms spread wide away from the body in an unnatural position at the point the ball makes contact — this is clearly a handball offence under Law 12, just not one that merits a penalty if the contact was outside the box. The red card shown to the Netherlands player is also correct, as deliberately stopping an attack with the hands in a situation that denied Uzbekistan an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (DOGSO-H) is a mandatory sending-off regardless of where on the pitch it occurs. So both decisions — free kick instead of penalty, and red card — are correct, making this a case where the on-field call (penalty) was wrong but VAR's intervention produced the right final outcome.
