"Messi's goal should not have been validated." Schmeichel on the Argentine's first goal
Peter Schmeichel claims Messi's first goal of the 2026 World Cup should not have been allowed for a foul.
Former Danish national team goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel expressed his opinion on Lionel Messi's first goal in the match against Austria, which ended 2-0 in favor of Argentina. According to Schmeichel, the goal should not have been validated due to a foul committed by the Argentines during the action. Messi opened the scoring in the 38th minute of the match, which was the second of the group at the 2026 World Cup. "I don't agree with this decision. He played magnificently, but I think that goal should not have been allowed. Remember how they got the penalty. A player was hit from behind. Here there should have been a free foul [for the foul] by McAllister [in midfield]. He hits Xaver [Schlager]. A free kick should have been called free kick, but they continue to attack. VAR should have disallowed [this goal]. It's a clear and serious mistake by the referee, and I feel a little sorry for Austria," Schmeichel said during an interview on Fox Sports. The match was refereed by a team of referees led by Amin Omar.
