Exhibit DArgentina 2–0 Austria — World Cup 2026, Group J38’
The Goal That Survived the Check
Minute 38: fans saw Mac Allister climb through Schlager in the build-up to Messi's opener. VAR checked; the goal stood — ESPN filed it under 'debatable.' Earlier, a lengthy review handed Argentina a ninth-minute penalty, which Messi put wide. One check overturned nothing, one check gave a penalty. The jury studies the thresholds.

- Decision
- Goal allowed after VAR check
