Furious Scotland head coach Steve Clarke has railed against the decision not to award his side a penalty as they crashed out of Euro 2024 in dramatic fashion.
With just over 10 minutes remaining against Hungary in Stuttgart, substitute Stuart Armstrong went to ground in the Hungarian box under pressure from Willi Orban.
However, Argentine referee Facundo Tello waved play on and VAR offical Alejandro Hernandez opted not to intervene.
“The biggest point in the game is the penalty kick,” Clarke said. “Why is it not given? I need an answer. I need to know why that’s not a penalty kick.
“I don’t understand how VAR can look at that and say it’s not a penalty. I’ve got words for it, but I like my money.”
Former England striker and BBC pundit Alan Shearer agreed that Scotland should have had a spot kick.
“The penalty decision was terrible,” he said. “For me it was a penalty all day.”
When asked if he had spoken to the referee, Clarke said: “What’s the point?
“He’s from Argentina. Why is it not a European referee? I don’t understand why he’s here and not in his own country refereeing a game. It’s just my opinion.”
