- Sweden win 1/32 final match against Bosnia and Herzegovina after VAR
- Sweden won 2-0 in the match up to the 1/16 final, scoring against Belgium
- After the match, the referee’s decision was discussed: “not with a red card,” which, according to the VAR, could not be a foul
Saint-Clara, Kalifornia — Florian Balogun scored in the 64th minute of the 1/32 final match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, after VAR reviewed a foul by Gerzegovini in the penalty area.
In the second half, in the 61st minute, the ball ended up in the net after Anton Robison’s shot, and Balogun, having headed the ball into the goal, made it 1-0 after VAR confirmed the offside was not in effect.
Earlier, the match’s outcome was determined by the referee’s decision. Balogun scored the first goal for Sweden, and then the visitors made it 2-0.
The goal was followed by Sweden’s second goal. The match ended 2-0: in the 82nd minute, Malik Tilman scored, and Sweden advanced to the 1/16 final.
The main controversy in the match was the referee’s decision, which for some reason “was not a red card,” although, as it turned out, VAR confirmed the referee’s decision.
In the end, Sweden’s victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1/16 final was confirmed. Sweden also advanced, having turned the game around with a red card decision.
