16 years old with a very bright future! I'm puzzled as to why the guy who fouled for the pen after the attacker was past the keeper wasn't sent off tho. If he had handled the ball on the line he would have sent off but tripping the guy as he was about to tap it into an empty net doesn't merit a red? Doesn't seem right, especially as the pen was saved.

It would have been a sore one for Spain as Rodri would have been sorely missed in the next match.

Found this: www.espn.com.sg/soccer/story/_/id/40357259/why-rodri-sent-spain-croatia-goal-was-disallowedWe're analysing every VAR decision made throughout all 51 games at Euro 2024. On Saturday, Spain midfielder Rodri escaped a red card when giving away a penalty against Croatia, who had the resulting goal ruled out. But why? Spain 3-0 Croatia Possible red card: Rodri challenge on Petkovic What happened: Croatia were awarded a penalty in the 78th minute when Rodri fouled Bruno Petkovic, who seemed certain to score. Referee Michael Oliver showed the Spain player a yellow card with the VAR, Stuart Attwell, checking both the spot kick and a possible red card. VAR decision: Penalty stands; Petkovic effort saved by Unai SimΓ³n. VAR review: Rodri's tackle feels like one that should result in a red card, and it certainly has in past seasons. Yet the IFAB, football's lawmakers, have a dislike for a red card where a player has made a normal football action in relation to an opponent. So much so that last year the law for denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (DOGSO) was relaxed further. It now says that where a defending player denies an opponent an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by committing an offence that was an attempt to play the ball or a challenge for the ball inside the penalty area then it should be treated as unsporting behaviour and the player only booked. It means that pretty much any challenge with the feet inside the box will now be considered unsporting behaviour rather than DOGSO. A player having "no possibility to play the ball" still exists in law, but it would have to be exceptionally cynical to qualify for a red card, which is essentially reserved for "holding, pulling, pushing."* Two seasons ago this would be a red card, now it's not so clear-cut. *or assault resulting in actual bodily harm by a mental Scotsman
