Nekoliko sekundi pre nego što je Rahim Sterling pao u šesnaestercu Danske u polufinalu EP pored engleskog reprezentativca su bile dve lopte.
– Pre nego što je Sterling simulirao penal, neposredno pre nego što će ući u kazneni prostor, s loptom je prošao odmah pored još jedne lopte na terenu. Video sam to i odmah rekao četvrtom sudiji. On nije reagovao ni preneo to glavnom sudiji – rekao je selektor Danske Kasper Hjulmand.
Engleska je posle produžetaka slavila sa 2:1.
Na društvenim mrežama pojavio se snimak ovog spornog momenta.
There are two balls on the field so the game should've been stopped and restarted by way of drop ball… In the end Sterling wouldn't get the chance to dive #EURO2020 pic.twitter.com/rjYzdaNi9H

– There were two balls on the pitch and Sterling was with one, ran towards the same direction where the other ball was (Interference)
– The penalty was never due to be a penalty. Michael Owen, Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho etc said it wasn't. #Cheating
