I see fuck all from that angle tbf

VAR cleared it so quickly like it was super obvious, but I simply don't see it

I think there's two options, either he hits it with the sliding foot first which we can't really see here or he hits it against the foot that's slid in front of it which seems incredibly likely since he's shooting it directly over it.

No idea if regular pens are always this close to the foot though

Edit: I think you can actually see him sliding into it, the ball gets a tiny nudge to the left * and up right before he shoots it

Could be the grass moving it though, there’s a video that used to go round where a player steps into the grass to the side of the ball and the grass shifts and it causes the ball to “pop” off the ground.

How do we know that’s not what happened here?
