A Controversial Hand Ball Scene in Extra Time
A highly controversial hand ball scene in extra time left Germany wondering if they should have been awarded a penalty. The incident occurred when the ball hit the arm of Marcos Alonso in the Spanish penalty area. The referee did not award a penalty, and Germany ultimately lost the match on penalties.
Analysis Sheds Light on Controversial Scene
An analysis of the incident by ESPN has concluded that Alonso did handle the ball, but that Germany was in an offside position in the build-up to the play. This means that even if a penalty had been awarded, it would not have been converted.
Unfortunate End to Germany's European Championship
Germany's defeat to Spain was a disappointing end to their European Championship campaign. The team had played well throughout the tournament, but they were unable to overcome a determined Spanish side. The hand ball incident will be debated for years to come, but it is clear that it was not the only factor in Germany's defeat.
