Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman insists Xavi Simons' disallowed goal should have stood in the 0-0 draw against France at Euro 2024.
Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman insisted Xavi Simons' disallowed goal should have stood as his side played out the first goalless draw of Euro 2024 against France in Leipzig.
There was a lengthy check by the video assistant referee as fans inside the stadium, without the luxury of being able to see the replay, whistled in frustration until it was announced the on-field decision would stand. "You need five minutes to check it, because it is so difficult?" added Koeman. "I don’t understand this. He is not disturbing the goalkeeper."
"France have been very fortunate here," said Alan Shearer. "When you see the angle behind the goal, the goalkeeper cannot dive for that with the body position he was in. Wayne Rooney, along with former Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas, suggested referee Taylor should have gone to look at the pitchside monitor.
