The VAR was called into action to cover two major incidents.
Firstly, Lingard thought he had scored a winner (82:29),
but was adjudged to have been offside by an inch (84:33).
Moments later, claims were made against Chilwell that he
had handled the ball (85:19). It was rightly decided (86:40)
that it had in fact, struck his back. |

not awarded (73:41). Then, for the second match in a row,
England had a goal struck off. This time, Callum Wilson
scored the goal (83:18), only to be pulled back because he

issue with Jan Bořil's foul on Harry Maguire in the penalty area in the 68th minute,
but was brought into action when Jordan Henderson's

VAR performed a penalty check, which occurred as a result of Harry Kane going down
(73:20) from a
challenge by Christian Nørgaard. It took another
thirty-forty seconds before VAR was confirmed, and another
thirty seconds to confirm that referee Danny Makkelie's
original decision stands,
a free-kick against Harry Kane.
The
second official use went in favour of England, Makkelie
pointed to the spot (101:47) after Raheem Sterling was
bundled down to the floor. VAR took 65 seconds to not see 'a
clear and obvious error' in the referee's decision. |

Andorra
Estadi Nacional, Andorra la Vella

For the first time, VAR favoured England in gaining a goal.
Ben Chilwell's strike (16:32) was immediately ruled out for
offside. However, nine seconds later, a goal check was
confirmed, and a whole one minute and 53 seconds after the
ball struck the back of the net, the offside decision was
overturned and a goal awarded.
In the second half, Tammy
Abraham's goal (58:05) was checked for offside whilst
substitutions were made, he was not offside and the goal
stood (59:27).
When Jack Grealish went down (76:54)
under a Jesus Rúbio challenge, a penalty kick was
immediately awarded, and VAR took a minute to substantiate the
decision. |

(and used to disallow an England goal) |
The first use of VAR in the evening came from a subtle
handball from Dante Rossi (22:58), who was appealing at the
time, his hand in the air, as Phil Foden's volley went wide
brushing the finger of Rossi. The referee, Rade Obrenović, viewed the monitor
(24:25 to 25:02) and awarded the penalty kick (25:05) and a
yellow card (25:33).
VAR was then called in to check
the legitimacy of Jude Bellingham's first goal for England
(70:31). The referee viewed the monitor (71:43 to 72:05).
His goal was struck off (72:10) after it was ruled that
Tammy Abraham fouled Lorenzo Lunadei (70:23) in the build
up. |

The VAR was called into action
twice, both in regards to the two of the goals. When Breen
Embolo headed in Xherdan Shaqiri's cross (21:39), Silvan
Widmar was offside in the first build-up of play, but this
was not considered to be in effect and the goal was awarded
(23:13).
The second use
was in awarding England a penalty-kick. Marc Guehi's headed
Jack Grealish's corner onto Steven Zuber's hand, who was
facing the goal (74:57). The players appealed and play was
eventually stopped when Henderson's shot blazed over the bar
(74:59). WIth no resumption of play, the Referee, Andreas
Ekberg, was then eventually told to consult the monitor
(76:15), he did so (76:28) for twelve seconds, awarding the
penalty kick (76:46). |

29 March 2022 - 3-0 vs.
Côte d'Ivoire
The National Stadium, Wembley
(used to overturn the award of a penalty kick

Again, VAR was called into action twice. Following Raheem
Sterling's goal (44:24), there was a check as to whether an
offside had occurred. It had not, and the goal was allowed
to stand
(45th+1:17).
Shortly after the second half began, 41
year-old Fousseny Coulibaly appeared to bring down Jude
Bellingham (45:46) and referee Erik Lambrechts ordered a
penalty kick (45:50). VAR checked and requested that the
referee look at the monitor (47:00). He did so (47:17 for
thirteen seconds) and concluded that Coulibably got the ball
first. Award for the kick is overturned. The first time that
the Video Assistant Referee overturned an England penalty
kick award. |

VAR was used twice to check the referee's decisions. Jonas
Hofmann felt he scored a legitimate goal (22:11) which was
disallowed for being offside. VAR took almost two minutes
(22:16 to 24:02) to agree with the referee's correct
decision.
Harry Kane was then fouled (84:20) and play
continued until the ball went out of play (84:33) to allow
VAR to check. He was asked to check the monitor (84:57),
which he did (85:20 to 85:46). Carlos Del Cerro Grande then
awarded a penalty kick (85:49) |

In this match, VAR was integral in deciding two of the
goals. Firstly, after a poor Maguire pass (49:21) led to him
fouling Jamel Musiala five yards inside the penalty area.
Referee Danny Makkelie in fact waved Musiala back to his
feet. It was almost a minute later (50:08) when the referee
was advised to look at the pitchside monitor (50:26-50:33),
awarding the kick five seconds later.
An innocuous
challenge a yard inside the penalty area on Jude Bellingham
(79:21) when Nico Schlotterbeck slid into his ankle was only
noticed by the VAR officials. Only after a Harry Kane shot
(80:18) and a corner was awarded (80:22) was Makkelie made
aware and then ordered to look at the monitor (80:57). Nine
seconds later, for fourteen seconds, he did so. Then awarded
a penalty kick (81:37) and a caution. |

(99:15) to review a foul
when John Stones pulled on the shirt
(99:00) of Morteza Pouraliganji,
bringing him down as Eshan Hajsafi's free-kick was floated into
the six-yard area. Claus confirmed
(99:55) he was to look at the VAR monitor, which he

As VAR is to used to check all goals, the first mention
within this game followed the first France goal
(16:22). Bukayo Saka was fouled by Dayotchanculle Upamecano
(15:56) as he picked up a ball from Kyle Walker on
the right hand side of the French penalty area. VAR deemed
no foul was committed.
VAR was used to check a foul again
by Upamecano, his time on Harry Kane (24:33) on the right
line of the penalty box. VAR was checked
(24:50 to 26:02) with no foul committed.
Dayotchanculle Upamecano
was again involved in the second half when he fouled Saka
(51:27) just inside the penalty area. The referee,
Wilton Sampalo, pointed straight at the spot. Although it
took Kane another two minutes
(53:26) put away the kick, it was not down to any
extensive check.
In England's first attack seeking a
second equalising goal, Théo Hernandez clattered Mason Mount
in his back (79:42) as he ran onto a
Jude Bellingham long ball into the penalty area. A VAR
review ensued and Sampalo was asked to look (80:44) at the
monitor, which he did (80:55) for 24 seconds. Awarding a
penalty kick (81:23) and cautioned Hernandez. |

The VAR was called into action in the 13th minute, checking
Declan Rice's goal. The check was complete 13:38.
It was VAR that awarded the penalty kick that became
England's second and vital goal. As Harry Kane attempted to
chest down Bukayo Saka's corner kick, Giovanni Di Lorenzo's
outstretched arm struck the ball first
(40:12). A goal-kick was awarded and whilst the England
players remonstrated, the VAR check proceeded
(40:20). The referee, Srđjan Jovanić, was then asked to view the
pitchside monitor (41:03), and he did so for 38 seconds
(41:24-42:02) before then awarding a penalty kick
(42:12). |

right-hand side of the penalty area to cross the ball back
in, with Phil Foden being the hopeful recipient, however, it
struck the hand of Steve Borg
(79:56) and the ball parried to his goalkeeper. Play

VAR was used on numerous occasions throughout this match.
First called upon to check Taras Stepnanenko's foul on James
Maddison (20:47), no red
card followed. The first Ukrainian goal
(25:14) was also
checked without incident. Apparently, Marc Guéhi's collision
with Roman Yaremchuk (29:04)
in the corner of the penalty area was the first penalty
check. Then Harry Kane's cross blocked by Viktor Tsyhankov
(30:49) was the next
check for handball. James Maddison's foul
(33:50) on Ilya Zabarnyi
was checked and a yellow card sufficed. England's equalising
goal by Kyle Walker (40:16)
was checked for offside, with the goal being
confirmed (41:28).
In
the second half, Bukayo Saka's low strike was caught between
the arm and ribs of Serhiy Kryvtsov
(62:07) as he fell to ground in the penalty area. No
penalty
(62:30). Then, at
Ukraine's second corner of the match, Marcus Rashford's
challange on Mykhailo Mudryk
(69:50) is checked for a penalty. The challenge was
outside the area and the late challenge was considered no
foul either (71:10). A
final red card check was delivered when Harry Maguire
collided with goalkeeper Heorhiy Buschan (84:44) in reaching
for the loose ball. |

checked Marcus Rashford's position as he received
the ball from Jude Bellingham
(31:35) before laying-off a pass for Kyle Walker to
shoot for Phil Foden to guide in (31:38). Awarded 33:05.
Then, following England's second
goal, which passed without incident, Ché Adam's
received the ball on the six yard line
(36:03), and with him was
Marc Guéhi, who fell on the tackle, and the ball, with
his left hand as he hit the ground. Calls for handball followed and the
check concluded without any punishment (36:36). |

(27:46) as he sprinted into the penalty area. The
referee pointed to the spot
(27:49) and despite just under two minutes
(1:58) of checking, his decision was not overturned.
In fact, he cautioned Lorenzo
(29:58) for the foul. Kane then dispatched the kick
with vigour (31:01).

The first confirmed use of VAR in this match came after
Declan RIce brilliant run and shot
(75:43)that should have put England 3-0 up. However,
the ball, on its way sailing past Henry Bonello's goal, had
brushed the shirt of Harry Kane, who, along with Phil Foden,
were stood in an offside position. After considerable
deliberation, the goal was struck off
(77:28) and the match resumed with a free-kick

Toše
Proeski Arena, Skopje
(used to award a penalty kick

|
The first confirmed use of the VAR in this match was to
award a penalty-kick against England. When Rico Lewis rose
higher to clear Enis Bardhi's through ball, his flailing
hand caught the face of Bojan Miovski
(36:39). The referee, Filip Glova, initially ignores
Miovski rolling around the penalty area. It was not until
the ball went out of play
(37:03) that the referee called a halt to proceedings
to allow the communication with the VAR officials to
continue. He was then advised to view the pitchside monitor
(confirmed 37:49), which he did for 36 seconds from
38:05. Awarded 38:52 and Lewis cautioned four seconds later.
The second confirmed use came in first-half injury time when
Harry Maguire took Elif Elmas' knee to his face
(45+3:13) at a Trent Alexander-Arnold corner. This
time the referee halted play
(45+3:19) to allow Maguire to receive treatment
and for Jack Grealish to remonstrate with Stole Dimitrievski
after he accused Maguire of cheating. VAR saw no foul and
allowed Glova to restart
(45+4:26) with a dropball
(45+5:05) and the referee ended the first-half four
seconds later.
The second half began as quarrelsome as
the end of the first half. After Bukayo Saka dribbled his
way through the penalty area before laying off a ball for
Jack Grealish to strike the ball into the net from three
yards (46:42). However,
he was waiting in an offside position and VAR correctly
disallowed the goal, with the referee awarding a free-kick
(49:32) to restart the play, almost three minutes
later. |
1052 |
23 March 2024 - 0-1 vs. Brazil
The National Stadium, Wembley |

The only confirmed used of VAR in this match was to
deliberate on the only goal of the match, this despite the
constant fouling from the Brazil team, particularly Lucas
Paquetá, who committed, it could be argued, six cautionable
offences, of which he received only one.
Endrick broke
records when he scored (79:43),
but despite England's protestations at Vinícius Junior's
offside, VAR did check whether Endrick was
offside when Vinícius Junior first struck the ball that
Pickford saved. Endrick was not offside, and prior to that, Vinícius Junior
was played on by Declan Rice when Andreas Pereira played the
ball (79:37). |

The first use of the VAR came in the fifteenth minute. Ivan
Toney, picking up a through-ball from Jude Bellingham, was
barged in the back by Jan Vertonghen
(14:31). The referee pointed at the spot
(14:33) and VAR completed its check ninety seconds
later (16:04).
When
Jarrod Bowen headed into the net
(25:58) a Lewis Dunk head-back from a Phil Foden
corner. It was initially awarded, then checked and ruled as
offside (27:25). Both
Bowen and Bellingham were stood in front of the Belgian
back line at the time Dunk headed the ball.
The second
Belgium goal, scored by Youri Tielemans
(35.02), was briefly checked for offside before being
correctly awarded (36:22).
In the second half, a long run from his own half by Phil
Foden was ended abruptly in the penalty area by Amadou
Onana (64:59). The
referee waved play-on whilst VAR checked and eventually
agreed the referee (65:33). |

to the ground. The referee,

10 July 2024 - 2-1 vs.
Netherlands
Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund
(used to award a penalty kick
for England)
(used to disallow an England
goal) |
VAR was first used to award England a fortunate
penalty-kick. When Harry Kane shot at goal, his foot
collided with Denzel Dumfries' foot
(13:42) and he went down in the area. Despite the
initial protestations, Kane received treatment and all other
players resumed their positions.
Only when referee Felix Zwayer prevented the Netherlands
from taking their goal-kick
(14:47) was VAR known to be in use. It was another
ten seconds before the commentators and stadium were aware
of a potential penalty check. Zwayer was instructed
to look at the monitor (15:08),
which he did (15:26 for 27
seconds). He then awarded the penalty-kick
(15:56) and cautioned
Dumfries (16:29).
VAR
was then used to rule on Bukayo Saka's 79th minute goal. His
strike (78:47) from seven
yards was almost immediately brought into question, as Kyle
Walker, who provided the cross, was in an offside position
when he was initially passed the ball
(78:44) from Phil Foden.
(Confirmed 79:20). |

(82:25), had to be overturned by VAR, after Vangelis Pavlídis was adjudged to have received the ball in an offside position.
All goals would have been checked by VAR, without incident. |

(31:32) as it failed to passed through to Harry Kane.

Senegal
City Ground, Nottingham
(used WRONGLY to disallow an England
goal) |
Fr |
VAR was controversially used to disallow an England
equalising goal scored by substitute Jude Bellingham. A
left-sided inswinging corner was taken
(82:58) by Noni Madueke. It reached the incoming Levi
Colwill on the six yard line, who pushed the ball towards
Bellingham, who thighed it in front of his outstretched
right leg, and volleyed low into the centre of the goal from
three yards out. However, replays showed that it struck
Colwill's upper arm. Referee Frappart was instructed
(84:55) to view the
monitor (85:07-85:41 (apart from
85:20-85:26 when she instructed the players to remove
themselves from her technical area)). She struck the
goal off (85:44).
The
handball was neither deliberate, nor was it handled by the
goalscorer. |
