PolandIn a World Cup match between Portugal and Croatia, a controversial goal by Croatia was disallowed due to a disputed offside call. The goal occurred in stoppage time when Ivan Perisic crossed the ball into the box, and the ball appeared to bypass Igor Matanovic before bouncing off Renato Veiga and Mario Pasalic, eventually crossing the line. The decision hinged on whether Matanovic had made any contact with the ball, which would place Pasalic in an offside position. While television replays showed no clear evidence of contact, a sensor inside the ball detected a very slight touch from Matanovic's hair. This led the referees to rule the goal invalid. After the match, Matanovic confirmed he felt a light touch from the ball but was unsure if it was significant enough to affect the offside call.
