Liechtenstein did not steal victory. Because of what appears The bottom group gets the three points. However, it is a lucky victory, because in the 86th minute, substitute Adi Winter equalized a heavy shot under the bar. Assumed compensation.

Because while Winter is cheering, the video assistant referee is on – so referee Adrian Jacotet looks at goal creation again on the small screen at the edge of the field. He sees how his assistant Blaz Kramer touches Vaduz defender Yannick Schmid with his elbow in the face as he turns.
