Was Belgium denied a penalty la verit against Spain?
In the 62nd minute of their 2026 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal, the ball came off Aymeric Laporte before appearing to strike Rodri around the shoulder or upper-arm area. Belgium appealed for handball, but the referee allowed play to continue and anthony gordon VAR did not intervene.
In this video, we examine the replay and apply IFAB Law 12, including the rules on deliberate handball, making the body unnaturally bigger, the legal boundary of the arm, and contact from a ball played by a teammate.
Spain ultimately won the quarterfinal 21 and advanced to face France in the semifinals.
