A first-half strike by England forward Alessia Russo was ruled out after a VAR review in the Women’s Euro 2025 match against France. The video replay showed Beth Mead in an offside position in the build-up to the move that ended with Russo finishing Lauren James’s pass, prompting the officials to reverse the on-field decision. England head coach Sarina Wiegman could be seen remonstrating on the touchline as the decision kept the game scoreless. The disallowed goal underscored the growing influence of VAR on high-stakes international fixtures.
