Spain Defeats England to Win Euro Cup 2024

Spain defeated England by a goal to win the Euro Cup 2024, dashing England's hopes of bringing home the trophy this time. England reached the Euro finals for the second consecutive time, but Spain's two goals, one from Nico Williams and the other from Mikel Oyarzabal, secured the win. Cole Palmer's 73rd-minute goal for England ignited hope among their fans, but Oyarzabal's 86th-minute goal sealed the deal for Spain.


The Controversy Around Oyarzabal's Goal

Oyarzabal's goal was criticized by England fans, who claimed he was offside when he scored. To viewers watching on smartphones or TV screens, it seemed like Oyarzabal had moved past English defender John Stones in the final moments of the game. However, the on-field referees quickly decided that Oyarzabal was not offside when he received the ball and scored. 

New Ball Technology Helps Referees

A new technology, called 'connected ball technology,' was used for the first time in Germany and showed that Oyarzabal was in the correct position when he scored. This technology includes a motion sensor in the match ball that provides live data to game officials, helping them make faster decisions. This technology was used to quickly decide on Oyarzabal's goal during the intense moments of the match.
