The players surrounded the referee in protest. One of the biggest doubts is that Khalilani was receiving a header from Amazon and the ball was bouncing off a Sgt. Pottinger player and landed in front of Khalilani, which made the decision controversial.

The keeper, Alexandria, was photographed walking to the referee and asked: "How long does it take to make a penalty? Why? It was a backward pass! However, according to the Law of England, the direction of the pass has no bearing on the offside decision. The key lies in the fact that Khalilani was in front of and behind the ball at the moment of Amazon's pass. Although Amazon was clearly in front of Khalilani, the ball was almost at the same level as Khalilani's, and the VAR's line drawing was based on the position of the ball and Khalilani's position, which showed that Khalilani's knees were protruding out of his body, and was therefore ruled to be offside.
As for the change in direction of the Sgt. Pottinger player during the return of Amazon's header, since the Sgt. Pottinger player did not intentionally pass the ball, it will not affect the offside decision as well.
