After a first little lively period, the first semi-final of the German-Portal Nations League, Wednesday evening in Munich, switched to madness on the return from the locker room. From the outset, Florian Wirtz opened the scoring for the mannschaft of a head that Diogo Costa did not managed to divert (48th). This goal should have been invalidated, it was not.
Worse, the referees of the meeting, the Slovenian Mr. Vincic and his assistants, offered a fairly unprecedented sequence at this level. The central referee initially validated Wirtz's goal by showing the central point, but Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates continued to protest against the goal, demanding a German offside.
Indeed, on the ladle of Joshua Kimmich in the direction of Florian Wirtz, the Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade, 1.98 m, was in the offside position and blocked Ruben Dias. It is obvious: Woltemade interfered in the action in the offside position on the pass of his teammate and should have been punished.
Portugal reverses the match!
Mr. Vincic was then called by his video referee to revise the images. At least a slowdown or two. In this kind of situation, it is up to the Var referee to decide or not a position of maid sanctionable on action. Mr. Vincic therefore came to look at images after granting the goal at first. And he validated the realization a second time!
Back to the wall, Portugal overturned the meeting in the space of five minutes! Francisco Conceição, the son of coach Sergio, completely relaunched the Seleçao by sending a rolled strike from the left out of reach of Marc-André Ter Stegen (63rd). In the process, Nuno Mendes escaped on the left and the center of the Parisian side gave an offering for “CR7”, author of his 937th goal (68th).
