Disciplinary and VAR context
Egypt’s federation challenged the cancellation of a Zico goal and the absence of a penalty after the 3-2 loss to Argentina. The supplied research says a detailed public FIFA response was not available at the time reviewed.
The Balogun case also remained controversial after his suspension was lifted before USA vs Belgium. Public political intervention and Belgium’s reaction made the disciplinary process a governance issue as well as a football story.
Final and bronze-final results
Ferran Torres scored in the 106th minute as Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 after extra time. England’s 6-4 victory over France produced ten goals, with Bukayo Saka completing a hat-trick.
The bracket should be read as a completed historical record. Match reports and official standings remain the primary sources for score corrections.
