UEFA orders match to be restarted after ref error
Print Edition
FOR the first time in its history, UEFA has ordered a soccer match to be restarted because of a referee’s error.
UEFA has ordered the final seconds of a women’s Under-19 European Championship qualifier between England and Norway to be replayed, starting with a stoppage-time penalty and a new referee. The governing body of European soccer said yesterday that its disciplinary committee has never before issued such a ruling.
With Norway leading 2-1 on Saturday in Belfast, England scored from the penalty spot in the sixth minute of injury time but it was disallowed when an England player encroached. However, German referee Marija Kurtes then wrongly awarded a free kick to Norway instead of retaking the penalty. The English Football Association protested. The retaken penalty could decide which team advances to the final tournament.
