Goal-line technology used for first time at World Cup

Goal-line technology was used for the first time at a World Cup finals on Sunday when France were awarded their second goal against Honduras.

Already leading 1-0 through a Karim Benzema penalty on the stroke of half-time, France's advantage was doubled when Benzema's 48th-minute shot came back off the post and rolled across the goal-line before hitting goalkeeper Noel Valladares. The Honduran tried to claw the ball back from the line but technology indicated a goal and Brazilian referee Sandro Ricci pointed to the centre circle.

France would go on to win the match 3-0, with Benzema scoring twice either side of the goal-line technology incident.

However, there was confusion in the Estadio Beira-Rio stadium when the computer generated image was displayed on the screens. As the ball first came back off the inside of the post it had been on the line, so a clip was shown with a "No Goal" message, before the graphics for the ball crossing the line were shown a few seconds later.

There wasn't a single TV angle they showed that made it a goal. Hopefully the system was correct. It would be hard for a team to win a championship on that. Of course, there were plenty of marginal goals not given before GLT.
