Doué dived? Paraguay stars can't believe it
Paraguay defended so compactly that it took a penalty to beat the South Americans. Diego Gomez fouled France’s Desiré Doué in the box, although the referee initially let play continue.
Then came the VAR intervention, and the official went to review the footage. He then awarded the penalty, and the Paraguay stars could no longer understand the world. In their eyes, as their gestures showed, it looked more like a dive.
Refereeing expert Patrick Ittrich, however, said the officials had made the right decision. "He sticks a leg out, the ball is not playable, so for me it is a clear penalty," he said on 'Magenta TV'.
Kylian Mbappé received the ball from Ousmane Dembélé and converted from the spot. It was already his 19th goal in 19 World Cup matches. He now sits second on the list of top scorers at World Cups and is just one goal behind Lionel Messi.
The Frenchman is simply unstoppable and could pave his team’s way into the quarter-finals with this goal.
