In the French and Dutch match, perhaps the first truly controversial episode in this European Championship took place.

In the second half, the match referee Anthony Taylor, after consulting with his colleagues from the VAR room, decided that Denzel Dumfries was offside, had an impact on the goalkeeper's game, so the Dutch goal was annulled.

After the match, R. Koeman commented on this situation: "If there is an offside, there is no need to touch your ear for 4 minutes. If you have so many doubts, then award the goal.

Dumfries really did not disturb the goalkeeper. Maingan did not try to protect the goal really not because of Maingan. Maingan did not react only because he would not have reached the ball.

He never, in any way, would have reached it" - the words tirade came out of the Dutch coach.
