The German national team, hosting the Nations League Final Four on home soil, faced off against Portugal on Wednesday, June 4.
Early in the second half, Die Mannschaft took the lead. Florian Wirtz capitalized on a lofted cross from Kimmich and found the back of the net. However, the Portuguese players immediately raised concerns about a possible offside.
The referees reviewed the incident, and the head official personally went to the monitor to assess the situation. He made a swift decision and allowed the goal to stand.
Incidentally, this wasn't the only controversial moment of the match—there was also another debated episode in Portugal’s penalty area.
Reminder: The match kicked off with a ten-minute delay due to the weather—hail began falling just before the scheduled start, prompting officials to briefly postpone the kickoff.
