Cucurella's goal was disallowed by referee Glenn Nyberg in a match between Spain and Austria, sparking much controversy over the decision.
Glenn Nyberg, well accompanied by his assistants and helped by the correct behavior of the players, did not finish his good performance due to the mistake of canceling Cucurella's goal. The Swedish referee showed good positioning and quick movements to follow the game closely, trying to maintain control of the match. He made errors of judgment in some corner kicks corrected via VAR and maintained a good sanctioning criterion. He whistled eight fouls against the Spanish team and 15 against the Austrian team. In the 30th minute, he was very rigorous in disallowing Cucurella's goal for an alleged previous infringement by Cubarsí on the Austrian goalkeeper Schlager. The action raised many doubts and the goal should have been validated. Incomprehensibly, from the VOR room, the Polish Tomasz Kwiatkowski did not invite the match director to review the action of the disallowed goal against Spain. In an intense and fast match, Nyberg let the game play a lot, always maintaining control of the match. The Swede was lenient with yellow cards in some of the Austrians' actions and correctly booked Posch for a harsh tackle from behind on Cucurella.
