Five minutes into the additional time, Charles tried to score, which was eliminated since it was offside according to the referee.
Emma Hayes, expressed her dissatisfaction, and highlighted what she believes she saw in the repetition. She said: “It is embarrassing. I had to check why it was disallowed. Was it Niamh? No. Was it Sam (Kerr) interfering with the goalkeeper? She was about seven yards away, no way near the keeper”.
