The Netherlands conceded a penalty in the 15th minute when it was leading with Xavi Simmons' first goal in the 7th minute of the first half in the Euro 2024 semi-final against England at Zignaliduna Park in Dortmund, Germany on the 11th (Korea time).
The situation is like this. England striker Harry Kane tried to volley his right foot off a high-flying ball in the Dutch box. At this time, fullback Denzel Doompris ran quickly and reached for the ball. After Kane touched the ball first, Doomfree's foot touched Kane's foot. Kane fell to the ground in pain.
The referee did not issue a penalty in the first place. He thought it was not a foul. However, after checking the VAR on-field review, he reversed the decision and took a penalty point with his finger. Kane, who played kicker, calmly scored. England, which brought the game back to square one, won 2-1 in the 45th minute of the second half with a dramatic come-from-behind goal by Olly Watkins.

Dutch coach Ronald Koeman, a former master defender, also said "It's not a penalty in my opinion. Kane kicked the ball, but the soccer shoes only touched it. I don't think we can play proper football because of VAR. VAR ruins football."
Even the England senior claimed it was a miscarriage of justice. Gary Neville, a former defender, said of the scene, `It's a disgraceful decision from a defender's point of view. If you don't have a little license on the defender, you can't stop the shot." Raising your legs to block the opponent's shot should be tolerated to some extent.
Ian Wright was a reckless challenge for DumpfriesLet's refute " reckless? It is not reckless. Denmark's handball foul is the same, and this time, it's not a penalty."
England, who escaped elimination due to Watkins' theatrical goal from the amateur league, will try to win its first ever championship in the final against Spain in Berlin on the 15th.
