Scotland penalty claim was ‘just physical contact’, says Uefa referees chief
Scotland were denied crucial penalty against HungaryRosetti says Attwell decision on Simons also correct
Uefa has defended the decision to deny Scotland a penalty in their defining defeat against Hungary, insisting it was “just physical contact” that had caused the midfielder Stuart Armstrong to fall to the ground.
The remarks follow outspoken criticism by Scotland’s manager, Steve Clarke, of the decision by the Argentinian referee Facundo Tello. Clarke claimed it was “100% a penalty” and demanded an explanation from officials.
