WSL CHE v TOT (2024-25 MW5)

[CaptainsPlease]

1. Looks doubtful that this has fully crossed the line (3:49)

2. Was this a harsh penalty to award, and should the impactful encroachment have been tolerated? (6:42)

Penalty is an easy one. With no VAR and considering there was encroachment by many players, I don’t think football expects an offence.

Bonus - what a cracking atmosphere - was listening yesterday to how many womens teams now play at prem grounds - amazing - anyone working on these?

Agree PK is easy. I think the standard now is that encroachment should have been called, as an encroaching is the one who scored. But since a defender was also encroaching and challenged for the ball, we have a double offense. I believe the proper call here would be for the PK to be retaken. Admittedly that is harder to adjudicate without VAR.
