The VAR was called into action to cover two major incidents.
Firstly, Lingard thought he had scored a winner (82:29),
but was adjudged to have been offside by an inch (84:33).
Moments later, claims were made against Chilwell that he
had handled the ball (85:19). It was rightly decided (86:40)
that it had in fact, struck his back. |

Estádio Dom Afonso
Henriques, Guimarães |
The VAR was called to decide on two major incidents again.

not awarded (73:41). Then, for the second match in a row,
England had a goal struck off. This time, Callum Wilson
scored the goal (83:18), only to be pulled back because he
himself had committed a foul in the build-up (83:12). The goal
was eventually unawarded (84:59). |

Republic
National Stadium, Wembley |
The VAR was again, presumably called into to check every decision. It raised no
issue with Jan Bořil's foul on Harry Maguire in the penalty area in the 68th minute,
but was brought into action when Jordan Henderson's
disallowed goal (85:26) was checked to decide whether the ball
was passed to him by Jude Bellingham, or a backpass from Jan Bořil.
VAR did not overturn the original, albeit delayed, offside
decision. |
1018 |
29 June 2021 - 2-0 vs. Germany

VAR performed a penalty check, which occurred as a result of Harry Kane going down
(73:20) from a
challenge by Christian Nørgaard. It took another
thirty-forty seconds before VAR was confirmed, and another
thirty seconds to confirm that referee Danny Makkelie's
original decision stands,
a free-kick against Harry Kane. The
second official use went in favour of England, Makkelie
pointed to the spot (101:47) after Raheem Sterling was
bundled down to the floor. VAR took 65 seconds to not see 'a
clear and obvious error' in the referee's decision. |

quickly as it began. |

9 October 2021 - 5-0 vs.
Andorra
Estadi Nacional, Andorra la Vella |
For the first time, VAR favoured England in gaining a goal.
Ben Chilwell's strike (16:32) was immediately ruled out for
offside. However, nine seconds later, a goal check was
confirmed, and a whole one minute and 53 seconds after the
ball struck the back of the net, the offside decision was
overturned and a goal awarded. In the second half, Tammy
Abraham's goal (58:05) was checked for offside whilst
substitutions were made, he was not offside and the goal
stood (59:27). When Jack Grealish went down (76:54)
under a Jesus Rúbio challenge, a penalty kick was
immediately awarded, and VAR took a minute to substantiate the
decision. |

15 November 2021 - 10-0 vs. San
Marino San Marino Stadium,
Serravalle |
The first use of VAR in the evening came from a subtle
handball from Dante Rossi (22:58), who was appealing at the
time, his hand in the air, as Phil Foden's volley went wide
brushing the finger of Rossi. The referee, Rade Obrenović, viewed the monitor
(24:25 to 25:02) and awarded the penalty kick (25:05) and a
yellow card (25:33).
VAR was then called in to check
the legitimacy of Jude Bellingham's first goal for England
(70:31). The referee viewed the monitor (71:43 to 72:05).
His goal was struck off (72:10) after it was ruled that
Tammy Abraham fouled Lorenzo Lunadei (70:23) in the build
up. |

26 March 2022 - 2-1 vs.
Switzerland
The National Stadium, Wembley |

The VAR was called into action
twice, both in regards to the two of the goals. When Breen
Embolo headed in Xherdan Shaqiri's cross (21:39), Silvan
Widmar was offside in the first build-up of play, but this
was not considered to be in effect and the goal was awarded
(23:13). The second use
was in awarding England a penalty-kick. Marc Guehi's headed
Jack Grealish's corner onto Steven Zuber's hand, who was
facing the goal (74:57). The players appealed and play was
eventually stopped when Henderson's shot blazed over the bar
(74:59). WIth no resumption of play, the Referee, Andreas
Ekberg, was then eventually told to consult the monitor
(76:15), he did so (76:28) for twelve seconds, awarding the
penalty kick (76:46). |
1030 |
29 March 2022 - 3-0 vs.
Côte d'Ivoire
The National Stadium, Wembley |
Again, VAR was called into action twice. Following Raheem
Sterling's goal (44:24), their was a check as to whether an
offside had occurred. It had not, and the goal was awarded
(45th+1:17). Shortly after the second half began, 41
year-old Fousseny Coulibaly appeared to bring down Jude
Bellingham (45:46) and referee Erik Lambrechts ordered a
penalty kick (45:50). VAR checked and requested that the
referee look at the monitor (47:00). He did so (47:17 for
thirteen seconds) and concluded that Coulibably got the ball
first. Award for the kick is overturned. The first time that
the Video Assistant Referee overturned an England penalty
kick award. |

7 June 2022 - 1-1 vs. Germany
Allianz Arena, München |
VAR was used twice to check the referee's decisions. Jonas
Hofmann felt he scored a legitimate goal (22:11) which was
disallowed for being offside. VAR took almost two minutes
(22:16 to 24:02) to agree with the referee's correct
decision. Harry Kane was then fouled (84:20) and play
continued until the ball went out of play (84:33) to allow
VAR to check. He was asked to check the monitor (84:57),
which he did (85:20 to 85:46). Carlos Del Cerro Grande then
awarded a penalty kick (85:49) |

(61:14). |
1036 |
26 September 2022 - 3-3 vs. Germany
The National Stadium, Wembley |
In this match, VAR was integral in deciding two of the
goals. Firstly, after a poor Maguire pass (49:21) led to him
fouling Jamel Musiala five yards inside the penalty area.
Referee Danny Makkelie in fact waved Musiala back to his
feet. It was almost a minute later (50:08) when the referee
was advised to look at the pitchside monitor (50:26-50:33),
awarding the kick five seconds later. An innocuous
challenge a yard inside the penalty area on Jude Bellingham
(79:21) when Nico Schlotterbeck slid into his ankle was only
noticed by the VAR officials. Only after a Harry Kane shot
(80:18) and a corner was awarded (80:22) was Makkelie made
aware and then ordered to look at the monitor (80:57). Nine
seconds later, for fourteen seconds, he did so. Then awarded
a penalty kick (81:37) and a caution. |

minute of this match. The referee,
Rapael Claus, was called on
(99:15) to review a foul
when John Stones pulled on the shirt
(99:00) of Morteza Pouraliganji,
bringing him down as Eshan Hajsafi's free-kick was floated into
the six-yard area. Claus confirmed
(99:55) he was to look at the VAR monitor, which he
did (100:15) for 43
seconds and awarded a penalty-kick
(101:06). |

France Āstād āl-Bayt, Al Khawr |
As VAR is to used to check all goals, the first mention
within this game followed the first France goal
(16:22). Bukayo Saka was fouled by Dayotchanculle Upamecano
(15:56) as he picked up a ball from Kyle Walker on
the right hand side of the French penalty area. VAR deemed
no foul was committed. VAR was used to check a foul again
by Upamecano, his time on Harry Kane (24:33) on the right
line of the penalty box. VAR was checked
(24:50 to 26:02) with no foul committed. Dayotchanculle Upamecano
was again involved in the second half when he fouled Saka
(51:27) just inside the penalty area. The referee,
Wilton Sampalo, pointed straight at the spot. Although it
took Kane another two minutes
(53:26) put away the kick, it was not down to any
extensive check. In England's first attack seeking a
second equalising goal, Théo Hernandez clattered Mason Mount
in his back (79:42) as he ran onto a
Jude Bellingham long ball into the penalty area. A VAR
review ensued and Sampalo was asked to look (80:44) at the
monitor, which he did (80:55) for 24 seconds. Awarding a
penalty kick (81:23) and cautioned Hernandez. |

The VAR was called into action in the 13th minute, checking
Declan Rice's goal. The check was complete 13:38.
It was VAR that awarded the penalty kick that became
England's second and vital goal. As Harry Kane attempted to
chest down Bukayo Saka's corner kick, Giovanni Di Lorenzo's
outstretched arm struck the ball first
(40:12). A goal-kick was awarded and whilst the England
players remonstrated, the VAR check proceeded
(40:20). The referee, Srđjan Jovanić, was then asked to view the
pitchside monitor (41:03), and he did so for 38 seconds
(41:24-42:02) before then awarding a penalty kick
(42:12). |

in, with Phil Foden being the hopeful recipient, however, it
struck the hand of Steve Borg
(79:56) and the ball parried to his goalkeeper. Play

VAR was used on numerous occasions throughout this match.
First called upon to check Taras Stepnanenko's foul on James
Maddison (20:47), no red
card followed. The first Ukrainian goal
(25:14) was also
checked without incident. Apparently, Marc Guéhi's collision
with Roman Yaremchuk (29:04)
in the corner of the penalty area was the first penalty
check. Then Harry Kane's cross blocked by Viktor Tsyhankov
(30:49) was the next
check for handball.James Maddison's foul
(33:50) on Ilya Zabarnyi
was checked and a yellow card sufficed. England's equalising
goal by Kyle Walker (40:16)
was checked for offside, with the goal being
confirmed (41:28). In
the second half, Bukayo Saka's low strike was caught between
the arm and ribs of Serhiy Kryvtsov
(62:07) as he fell to ground in the penalty area. No
penalty
(62:30). Then, at
Ukraine's second corner of the match, Marcus Rashford's
challange on Mykhailo Mudryk
(69:50) is checked for a penalty. The challenge was
outside the area and the late challenge was considered no
foul either (71:10). A
final red card check was delivered when Harry Maguire
collided with goalkeeper Heorhiy Buschan (84:44) in reaching
for the loose ball. |

VAR was first used to check on England's first goal. It
checked Marcus Rashford's position as he received
the ball from Jude Bellingham
(31:35) before laying-off a pass for Kyle Walker to
shoot for Phil Foden to guide in (31:38). Awarded 33:05.
Then, following England's second
goal, which passed without incident, Ché Adam's
received the ball on the six yard line
(36:03), and with him was
Marc Guéhi, who fell on the tackle,and the ball with
his left hand as he his the ground. Calls for handball followed and the
check concluded without any punishment (36:36). |
