World Cup 2026: Spain's goal disallowed
The 2026 World Cup final sparked widespread controversy after the disallowance of a goal scored by Neko Williams, a Spanish player, during the first overtime period against Argentina. Despite receiving the ball inside the goal amid celebrations from his fans, Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic halted the play and awarded a foul against Mikel Merino, claiming he had tripped defender Nicolas Otamendi. Replays showed that the contact was light and did not warrant disallowing the goal. The decision led to significant protests and is considered one of the most contentious moments of the tournament's final. Later, Spain advanced in the second half of extra time with a goal from Ferran Torres.
