Mark Halsey Says England Fortunate as Ghana Missed Clear Penalty in World Cup Draw
Former Premier League referee Mark Halsey insists England were “extremely lucky” to avoid conceding a penalty after Ezri Konsa’s challenge on Ghana substitute Prince Kwabena Adu in their 0-0 World Cup group-stage draw. Halsey analysed the incident in a video breakdown for a major sports outlet, pointing out that Konsa made no contact with the ball and caught Adu on the knee. He expressed surprise that VAR did not step in to recommend a review. Despite dominating possession and outshooting Ghana, England’s attack lacked cutting edge. Ghana, under Carlos Queiroz, defended resolutely and left Group L wide open ahead of the final matchday.
