Korea's close call in World Cup 2026 match
During the 2026 World Cup final between Argentina and Spain, there was a referee controversy over a moment in the 90+4th minute. Lionel Messi requested that the referee review the decision using Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology because of Koke's hand placement over his mouth and his speech, according to FIFA rules that prohibit covering the mouth to prevent verbal exchanges. The referee refused to review the incident, even though it warranted a review, which sparked anger among the Argentinians—especially since Enzo Fernández had been sent off just a minute before and Koke was absent from the squad due to injury. This could have influenced the outcome of the match, which Spain won 1-0.
