Wirtz equaliser ruled out for Frimpong offside
Saturday, 29 August 2026 · 2026-27 · 32'
What happened
Goal awarded: Frimpong in an onside position. VAR intervened and the decision was overturned. Panel: The VAR overturn to disallow the goal for an offside offence against Frimpong was supported. When the ball was played, by Wirtz, Frimpong was in an offside position and then plays the ball himself. Whilst the pass makes contact with a defender this is not a 'controlled action'.
