Scotland FA wants explanation

Scotland FA are perplexed because Netherlands referee Sender Gozubuyuk erred significantly by failing to signal correctly during a VAR check.

According to reports from the Sun, Jack Henry did not foul goalkeeper Unai Simon, contrary to what high-ranking officials in the organisation that governs European football initially said.

They have since expressed their discontent and questioned the timeline of events in a letter to the heads of the European Union.

Today, the Scotland FA pressed the European body for clarification and have requested an explanation from Uefa's Head of Refereeing, Roberto Rosetti, regarding the ambiguity and contradiction surrounding the "goal."

Also, they want to know why it took 16 minutes to switch the decision's justification from foul to off-side.

Scotland still remains top of Group A despite their loss to Spain as they continue pushing to qualify for EURO 2024.
