There were seconds left before the end. Salah goes down inside the Egyptian penalty area while the African players appeal to French referee François Letexier. Play does not stop. Argentina breaks on the counterattack and Enzo Fernández scores the 3-2 in the 92nd minute, right in the middle of Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
For some, it was a fall with no clear contact, just one more among the thousand seen in a penalty area packed with legs. For others, the very same night in which VAR did disallow an Egyptian goal for a stomp on Lisandro Martínez proves that there are two different standards depending on which side you play for.
Was it a refereeing error that changed the face of the match, or simply a dubious play that gets blown up after the defeat? 🤔⚽
