Why was Messi’s 2nd goal in FIFA World Cup final allowed?

Argentina’s Lionel Messi scored a stunning second goal in the 2022 FIFA World Cup final, but the legality of the strike was called into question after two substitutes for the Argentina’s side entered the pitch just moments before the goal was scored.

According to the laws of the game, a goal should be disallowed if there are extra players on the field. However, the International Football Association Board (IFAB) has since clarified that the goal stands, as the substitutes did not interfere with the play in any way.

The IFAB, which is responsible for determining the laws of the game, has issued a statement explaining that the substitutes were not involved in the buildup to the goal and did not affect the outcome of the play. As a result, the goal has been allowed to stand.

The controversy has sparked a debate among football fans and experts, with some arguing that the substitutes should have been penalized for entering the field before the goal was scored. Others have defended the decision, saying that the substitutes did not affect the outcome of the play and therefore should not be punished.

Despite the controversy, there is no doubt that Messi’s second goal was a moment of magic, and will be remembered as one of the highlights of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The Argentine forward has once again demonstrated why he is considered one of the greatest players of all time, and his performances in this year’s tournament will go down in history.
