FIFA defends VAR call on disallowed Croatia goal versus Portugal
Following the decision to disallow Croatia's goal in the 103rd minute against Portugal, FIFA issued a statement confirming the ruling was right. The organization explained that the Trionda match ball’s Connected Ball Technology confirmed that Igor Matanović made contact with the ball during the play. FIFA noted that IMU sensors identified the touch, which appeared as a 'heartbeat graphic' to assist referees in reaching a precise conclusion.
