First of all, it's hilarious to see r/soccer once again getting their knickers in a twist over a perfectly correct refereeing decision. The Scotland player was offside and clearly interfering with Unai Simon. That's why the goal was disallowed not for a foul..
Anyways, Spain were clearly the better side and if Ferran scores his early sitter than it probably would have ended 4-0 or something. Scotland showed great fighting spirit and threw their bodies on the line but no one can deny that they were outplayed for most of the match
Spain has now won 25 home matches in a row in Euro qualifiers. More than any other side in history
The problem is uefa told us it was for a foul, then changed their mind to offside.
Even if he was offside it’s borderline at best. The keeper made zero effort to get the ball. He wasn’t being hindered at all.
