Euro 2024: Why was Croatia’s penalty goal against Spain disallowed by the referee? Explained

The Hindu  

Spain’s Rodri brought down Croatia’s Bruno Petkovic inside the penalty box in their Group B clash of Euro 2024 at the Olympiastadion Berlin. Croat players ran off to celebrate after Petkovic’s goal however the referee ultimately turned the goal down. This is called ‘Encroachment’ in penalty kicks and is not allowed and hence the goal was turned down without even a retake. According the official ‘Football Association’ rulebook, during a penalty kick, the players other than the kicker and goalkeeper must be: At least 9.15 m from the penalty mark, behind the penalty mark, inside the field of play and outside the penalty area.
