During a match between France and Senegal at the 2026 World Cup, a controversial non-penalty decision occurred when referee Alireza Faghani did not award a penalty to France after Kylian Mbappe was brought down inside the box. Despite reviewing the incident via VAR and returning to signal a goal-kick, the referee later explained Mbappe had initiated contact. The decision sparked criticism from former officials and analysts, but France went on to win 3-1, with Mbappe scoring twice and becoming France’s all-time top scorer at World Cups.
