FIFA has clarified the VAR call that disallowed Germany's goal against Paraguay in their World Cup Round of 16 match. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, followed by a penalty shootout where Paraguay emerged victorious.
The disallowed goal was due to a marginal offside call, which was confirmed by the VAR system. This decision was crucial as it kept the match tied and eventually led to the penalty shootout.
Germany's players and coaching staff were visibly frustrated by the call, but FIFA's explanation aims to provide transparency and understanding of the decision-making process.
