I will not like to debate on whether the ball crossed the line or not. I have seen varied images and it&#8217;s inconclusive for someone who wasn&#8217;t in the VAR room. However, the fact that Real Madrid recovered possession before surrendering it in the build up to the goal and it&#8217;s not one of the prescribed scenario for VAR intervention settles it all per IFAB law 10,&#8221; Goretti, FIFA Referee since 2018 told kick442.com in an exclusive conversation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7008\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7008\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7008\" src=\"https:\/\/kick442.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20221025-WA00241-300x282.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kick442.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20221025-WA00241-300x282.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kick442.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20221025-WA00241-1024x962.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kick442.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20221025-WA00241-768x722.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kick442.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20221025-WA00241-750x705.jpg 750w, https:\/\/kick442.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20221025-WA00241-1140x1071.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/kick442.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG-20221025-WA00241.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7008\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Goretti Nain Diangha Maria post for pre-match photo ahead of the 2023 Cameroon Super Cup game between Bamboutos FC and Cotonsport FC of Garoua<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong><em>What does IFAB law 10 say?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If play has stopped and been restarted, the Referee may not undertake a review except for the case of mistaken identity or a potential sending-off offence relating to violent conduct, spitting, bitting or extremely offensive, insulting and or abusive action(s).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, even if the whole of the ball had crossed the whole of the line, play resumed and restarted the moment Man City lost that ball to Real Madrid&#8217;s Edouardo Camavinga before recovering it through a poor clearance to score.<\/p>\n<p>The explanations from the FIFA Referee clears the air and settles all budding controversies around another great game between legendary Real Madrid and Manchester City last night at the Santiago Bernabeu.<\/p>\n<p>Vinicius Junior and Kevin De Bruyne traded magnificent goals as Real Madrid and Manchester City played out a pulsating 1-1 draw, leaving next week&#8217;s second-leg game at the Etihad stadium on a knife edge.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92023 kick442.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
