Read our privacy policy England suffered heartbreak in the Euro 2024 final after a tight offside call on Mikel Oyarzabal’s late goal for Spain in a 2-1 win in Berlin was confirmed by Uefa’s technology. Initial replays to the naked eye suggested Oyarzabal might have been offside, but the Uefa’s VAR graphic showed John Stones’ knee narrowly ahead of the end of Oyarzabal’s toe to ensure the Spaniard was indeed onside. As Marc Guehi chased back towards his own goal, Oyarzabal found space in front to meet Marc Cucurella’s cross. Uefa’s high-tech cameras proved the officials made the right decision despite a delay thanks to the use of “connected ball technology”.
