Kasper Schmeichel is disturbed by a laser pointer.
England defeated Denmark and are in the European Championship final. At the decisive penalty, goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel was irritated by a “fan”.
Double excitement about the penalty that promoted England to the final of the EURO! The football world is also discussing the controversial whistle from Dutch referee Danny Makkelie on the day after the second European Championship semi-final. Raheem Sterling went down after a contact in the penalty area. Makkelie decided on a penalty in the 104th minute of the game, Harry Kane scored in extra time to make the decisive 2-1 win against Denmark.
England rose to fight against Italy for the European Championship on Sunday at Wembley Stadium.
Sterling is accused of fooling Makkelie with a swallow. In addition, a second ball on the field had irritated the Danes in the development.
But not only the penalty decision was worth discussing. As TV recordings show, the execution itself was not flawless either. A camera fixed Danish keeper Kasper Schmeichel in front of Kane's penalty. It was noticed: A spectator tried several times to hinder the Leicester legionnaire with a green laser pointer.
Schmeichel was even lit in the eye. This can not only disturb the goalie's concentration in such a crucial game scene, it can even be hazardous to health.
The 34-year-old didn't let that bother him and even saved Kane's penalty. The Tottenham striker scored in the margin, promoting his nation to the final.
For the fan, should he be able to be researched, this action will probably have consequences.
