Despite losing 1-0 in their last group game against Tunisia, France advanced to the round of 16 at the World Cup in Qatar. Nevertheless, the French federation will protest against the scoring of the game.
Reason are the decisions of the referee Matt Conger in the final minutes. In these, the New Zealander initially recognized the French equalizer by Antoine Griezmann, called off the whistle and then reversed the goal decision after intervention by VAR. According to the rules, a goal after the final whistle can no longer be annulled, explains the French association, which intends to lodge an official protest within the prescribed 24 hours.
Even a 1-1 final score between France and Tunisia will not change the rise of France and Australia.
