What was it again? After Oyarzabal’s goal in the 86th minute of the European Championship final, everyone had to hold their breath for a moment. Traditionally, VAR was once again considered a potential offside trap. But the high-tech system brought liberation to Spain: the goal. Although it was once again very “close” – as you can see in the images below.
Five centimeters, that’s all that matters.
Spain won the European Championship with a last-gasp goal from Oyarzabal in the 86th minute. He made a perfect run into space to fire in a cross.
Just: Didn’t he catch up too early? The inevitable VAR check kept everyone guessing for a while.
But the decision came quickly: a goal. The Spanish celebrated, the English mourned. But traditionally, no one could see the pictures of the famous “offside wall”.
This is not the first time this European Championship. Many fans are still living in a state of doubt and disbelief for a while.
Until the director put everyone out of their misery about five minutes later with the edited image. Although it only added to the English frustration: the gap was clearly less than five centimetres.
The difference between tears and victory was very small.
