Spain keeper Unai Simon says it was the RIGHT decision to rule out Scott McTominay ’s wonder strike for Scotland. The midfielder’s free-kick in Seville on Thursday night was chalked off by VAR - firstly for a foul in the box - then offside.
Controversial Dutch ref Serdar Gozubuyuk left McTominay and boss Steve Clarke gutted after their crucial Euro 2024 qualifier, which the Spanish eventually won 2-0.
The SFA are seeking answers from UEFA on how VAR officials arrived at the decision. But Athletic Bilbao goalie Simon, who was nudged by Scotland’s Jack Hendry as McTominay’s strike flew past him, insists they got the call spot on.
He’s adamant that Hendry was impeding him in the box, meaning the goal was never going to stand. Simon said: “For me, the play wasn’t normal for several reasons. “There was a Scottish player bothering me in the six-yard box and clearly offside.
