Controversy

France denied a penalty despite the most obvious handball in football history

Thierry Henry would’ve been proud of that one.

COLOMBIA CAUSED A major shock today at the Women’s World Cup by beating third-ranked France 2-0.

However, the main talking point was an incident in the second-half when Colombia’s Daniela Montoya blatantly used her hand in the penalty area to deny France’s Eugenie Le Sommer a goalscoring opportunity.

Somehow the referee missed it and Montoya escaped unpunished. Colombia won by two but the score was 1-0 a the time so a penalty for France could have changed the complexion of the game.
