Belgium goal ruled out using never-before-seen ‘cricket’ technology as VAR gets major upgrade

BELGIUM were denied a late equaliser against Slovakia courtesy of some never-before-seen technology.

The Red Devils suffered a shock 1-0 defeat in their opening game of Euro 2024 after Ivan Schranz pounced on an early error.

Belgium thought they had an equaliser on 56 minutes when Romelu Lukaku slid in to convert from close range from Amadou Onana’s knock down, only for a VAR check to rule him as being offside.

But with just four minutes of normal time remaining, the ex-Chelsea and Manchester United forward finally thought he had his goal.

Substitute Lois Openda did superbly down the left to race away and find his team-mate in the middle to slot home.

However, once again technology intervened, but this time it was a first for most fans.
