Yeah, agreed. Were it a clean goal with no more effort I would be extra unhappy with the penalty, but I thought it added some interest with Schmeichel's great save on Kane's first shot, but failing to keep a hold of the ball and Kane's lightning fast second shot. Bad call, but really exciting penalty shot.The English team was in many phases dominant and pressing hard. There were not many football events on this level where both teams played such a fast and offensive football. The only thing that put me off completely: the penalty. What do they make video-proofs for if they are not used? This penalty was not justified and unfair to the Danes. Apart from that the referee was one of the best in this Euro.
All we were shown on replays of the penalty itself were angles that made it very hard to tell how much contact there was. Good ref the rest of the time, but I blame it on the VAR reviewers. I can see from the ref pov it looked worse than it was, but they consulted the VAR and should have done more than just uphold the initial decision with its limited information.
