Why are they defending the decision for the penalty? It clearly was an error

Technically she did make the error because it wasn’t a penalty but that’s the whole point of VAR. They should see there’s no contact and tell her to come have another lookThink the ref’s angle was a pen. The error was VAR who could see no contact but didn’t refer.
The cynic in me says they wanted to avoid overruling the female ref which is awful because a) she needed them in that instance and b) she’s had a terrific game.
I don't get it either VAR was brought in to check this but not used in penalty shoot outs.Adrian doesn't have a foot on the line when that was taken?
Or in games now I think. After the farce that was the women's world cup. Ultimately, if you hit a penalty well enough you should score. Most of the time penalties are given in situations where a goal isn't the most likely outcome. To go over the top on the laws surrounding these things is too punitive, and gets rid of a bit of fun.I don't get it either VAR was brought in to check this but not used in penalty shoot outs.
