Looks like the way they’ve create the graphic has “checking — goal” to mean that they are checking what is potentially a goal. It’s very unclear, I think, particularly with the colours/segments. What was the delay/drop ball to the keeper for just after?

Will FIFA confirm if it was SFP or DOGSO? Looks like the first footage shown was the contact then only after that a wider shot which could show the position of defenders.

In that case, why was it sent down for on-field review? I could see a sneaky workaround to overturn the potentially game-changing corner decision in light of the obvious offensive foul, but that’s clearly outside the approved use of VAR!

If it weren’t for the foul, do we think that PK would have been awarded?

This is the best explanation, I think - even if it’s not going to necessarily be convincing to everyone: VAR considered a possibility of an offensive foul as well as the defensive one(s) at the start so it wasn’t a clear and obvious error to give neither; at the end there was probably slightly...
