The head referee of the Euro 2024 quarterfinal match between Spain and Germany, Anthony Taylor, made a mistake by not awarding a penalty kick to the Spaniards for a handball by defender Marc Cucurella in his own penalty area. This was recognized by UEFA, according to the Relevo portal.

The committee recognized the mistake of both the chief referee and the VAR referee, who did not help to understand the situation correctly.
As a reminder, the scandalous episode occurred in the first extra time with the score 1:1. Later, Spain scored the decisive goal in the 119th minute. As a result, it was the Spaniards who became the winners of Euro 2024.
