Griezmann
thought
he
had
cancelled
out
Wahbi
Khazri’s
strike
when
he
volleyed
home
in
the
eighth
minute
of
stoppage
time
at
Education
City
Stadium.
However,
after
the
celebrations
had
died
down
and
the
whistle
had
sounded
for
full-time,
referee
Michael
Conger
ruled
out
Griezmann’s
goal
for
an
offside
infringement.
The
Atletico
Madrid
forward
was
adjudged
to
have
been
offside
when
firing
in
from
Aurelien
Tchouameni’s
pass,
which
was
helped
into
his
path
by
a
Tunisia
defender.
But
the
French
Football
Federation
(FFF)
felt
the
officials
were
wrong
to
disallow
the
goal
as
play
had
briefly
restarted
when
VAR
intervened,
which
is
prohibited.
“We
are
writing
a
complaint
after
Antoine
Griezmann’s
goal
was,
in
our
opinion,
wrongly
disallowed,”
the
FFF
said
last
Wednesday
(November
30).
Qatar
2022:
France
file
complaint
to
FIFA
over
disallowed
Antoine
Griezmann
goal
Should
France
have
been
successful
with
their
appeal,
the
scoreline
would
have
been
changed
to
1-1,
though
the
final
positions
in
Group
D
would
not
have
altered.
However,
FIFA
confirmed
in
a
statement
on
Monday
that
they
will
not
look
any
further
into
the
matter.
“The
FIFA
Disciplinary
Committee
has
dismissed
the
protest
submitted
by
the
French
Football
Association
in
relation
to
the
Tunisia
v
France
match,”
the
statement
read.
Khazri’s
superb
strike
ended
reigning
world
champions
France’s
nine-game
unbeaten
run
in
the
competition
stretching
back
to
the
2014
quarter-finals.
Les
Blues
went
on
to
beat
Poland
3-1
in
Sunday’s
last-16
tie
and
will
now
face
England
in
the
quarter-finals
on
Saturday
(December
10).
