Belgium head coach, Domenico Tedesco admitted he was frustrated by the controversial VAR decision that condemned his side to a shock 1-0 defeat against Slovakia in their Euro 2024 opener on Monday.
Tedesco’s team were rocked by Ivan Schranz’s seventh-minute goal in Frankfurt, but would have escaped with a draw if Romelu Lukaku’s late strike had been allowed to stand.
After missing a host of chances earlier in the Group E clash, Lukaku fired home from Lois Openda’s cross in the 86th minute.
But the striker’s celebrations were dramatically curtained with the players in position to restart the game as VAR ruled Openda had handled after being shoved into the ball earlier in the attack.
