First refereeing controversy of this Round of 32 clash between England and DR Congo!
Just before half-time, Jordanian referee Adham Makhadmeh judged that the contact between Harry Kane and Congolese goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi did not warrant a penalty.
After reviewing it, VAR did not intervene, apparently considering that the England striker had initiated the collision by looking for contact.
A decision that is already triggering a strong reaction from England supporters.
In your opinion, was it a penalty?
