FIFA annuls Croatia’s goal after IMU sensors detect contact
In the Portugal‑Croatia game, Igor Matanović appeared to score in the 90+13 minute. However, the Connected Ball’s integrated IMU sensors showed that a Croatian player made contact with the ball before the goal.
The data supported the referee’s off‑side call, leading to the goal’s cancellation. FIFA released an official statement explaining the technical reasons behind the decision.
