The German national team is in the World Cup round of 16 and fighting for a spot in the quarterfinals. A controversial goal sparks debate.

What happened?

In the 104th minute, both teams were ready to continue the match, with Germany leading 2-1 after a header from Jonathan Tah. But then the Moroccan referee Jalal Jayed received a hint from the video referee Tatiana Guzmán from Nicaragua.

Was it a foul?

She had seen a foul that had apparently slipped through to the players just like Jayed himself. Perhaps because Waldemar Anton's action was not a foul at all.
