A controversial moment in England’s World Cup Group L match against Ghana has lit up social media and, perhaps more tellingly, crypto prediction markets. England defender Ezri Konsa’s last-ditch challenge on Ghana’s Prince Adu in Boston drew no whistle from officials, despite replays suggesting a potential foul that could have changed the outcome.
The match and the missed call
Both England and Ghana entered the June 23 Group L fixture in Boston having won their opening matches. The stakes were already elevated before Konsa’s challenge on Adu created the tournament’s latest refereeing controversy.
Replays showed the contact appeared significant enough to warrant a penalty review. Officials let play continue.
