(Video) Why VAR disallowed Scott McTominay stunning Free-kick goal for Scotland vs Spain as fans don’t seem to understand
Scott McTominay had a stunning free-kick goal disallowed during Scotland's match against Spain, and fans were left baffled by the decision.
In the 60th minute of the game, McTominay curled a magnificent free-kick into the top corner, which initially appeared to have given Scotland the lead. The players and fans celebrated the goal, but VAR intervened.
After a lengthy review at the pitchside monitor, the match referee, Serdar Gozubuyuk, disallowed the goal for a foul on Unai Simon, the Spanish goalkeeper. Scotland defender Jack Hendry was deemed to have fouled the goalkeeper in the penalty area as McTominay scored.
This decision led to frustration and disappointment among the players and fans, with McTominay even launching a water bottle at the turf in frustration.
Fans on social media expressed their disbelief and frustration over the disallowed goal. Some criticized the referee and called the decision embarrassing, while others sarcastically wondered if the goal was disallowed because a Scotland player "breathed on the keeper."
One viewer called it "one of the worst decisions" they've seen in an international match, and another suggested it was a form of robbery. Some fans criticized UEFA, speculating that they want "big boys" in their tournaments.
Scott McTominay has been in good goal-scoring form recently, and the disallowed goal would have added to his tally. He had scored two late stoppage-time goals for Manchester United against Brentford, earning his team a last-gasp victory.
Despite the disallowed goal, McTominay's goal-scoring prowess has been on display both at the club and international level, proving his effectiveness in the box and his sharpness in taking goal-scoring opportunities.
