FIFA have explained the controversial VAR decision in Switzerland’s draw with Qatar, which sparked a furious rant from ITV pundit Gary Neville.
In an early shock result at the World Cup, Switzerland were held to a 1-1 draw by Qatar, having taken the lead through a 17th minute penalty.
That penalty was won after Breel Embolo headed the ball down to Remo Freuler who got to the ball before the goalkeeper and was taken out.
There was immediate controversy, though, as Freuler appeared to be marginally offside on the replays shown on television.
