'Anxious moment for England' - should this have been a penalty for Ghana?

🌐 Here's What Happened

Ghana may have been celebrating a gutsy goalless draw with England on Tuesday night, but manager Carlo Queiroz couldn't help wondering what might have been.

The Black Stars boss was adamant his side should have been awarded a penalty late in Tuesday's game as Prince Kwabena Adu charged into the box before Ezri Konsa came across and appeared to bring down the midfielder.

No spot-kick was given - to the relief of England supporters, with replays showing Konsa had caught Adu on the knee and made no contact with the ball.

📌 Key Details

"I'm not sure VAR is still working in the World Cup. We still have VAR? It's working?" said Queiroz.

"I have some doubts about that because another penalty that they need give to Ghana, a clear penalty against England [was missed]. They're lucky. They're very lucky.

"It was a clear penalty, red card. You have any doubts about that? You guys who saw the game have any doubts about that or is it only me that was in the game?

"I'm sorry for my sarcasm, but if I say these kind of things seriously they punish me, so I hope you understand that I'm joking."

BBC pundits watching the game were largely in agreement that Konsa and England were fortunate not to have been punished.

"I think that's a penalty," former Three Lions and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney said on BBC One.
