Mark Kukurel's handball during the match was not penalized following UEFA recommendations. The hand was close to the body, directed downwards, and did not unnaturally increase the body's surface area.
The penalty for the handball by Mark Kukurel was not given based on UEFA's recommendations. There was no violation of the rules in the incident where the ball hit the defender's hand after a midfielder Jamal Musiala's shot.
"According to UEFA recommendations, a penalty should not be awarded for this, as Kukurel's hand is lowered, in a vertical position, and does not unnaturally increase the body's surface area," wrote journalist Ben Jacobs.
"During the UEFA briefing before the Euro, a specific example was given regarding handball, similar to the case with Mark Kukurel. It was stated that this should not be considered a penalty for handball. The hand is close to the body, predominantly directed vertically downwards and/or behind the body line," he added.
