Marc Cucurella’s goal for Spain against Austria in their World Cup last-32 match is disallowed after a foul by the defender is judged against the Austria goalkeeper. Multiple reports state that the incident occurs in the first half, when Cucurella scores but is ruled to have impeded or affected the goalkeeper’s actions with a foul deemed “soft” by officials. Because the foul is called before the ball is ultimately considered legally playable for the goal, the refereeing decision stands and Spain do not get the score credited. The disallowed goal therefore has no impact on the official scoreline, and the match continues with Austria still awarded the outcome of the goal being rescinded. The reports focus on the same core reason: the foul on the Austria goalkeeper leads to the goal being chalked off following review and the referee’s application of the foul to the scoring phase.
