Technology confirmed that Matanovic did indeed touch the ball before it hit the head of Portuguese player Renato Veiga and rebounded for a deflection between Gvardiol and Rúben Neves, which ended up in the back of the Portuguese goal, but was subsequently disallowed. According to the rules, an offside is nullified if a defending player deliberately plays the ball (controlling, passing, or consciously attempting to intercept). However, if the defender's touch is accidental, such as a bounce or an unintentional deflection, the offside position remains and is sanctioned.

Might not have been sound, but they detected the touch.

Not so much for offsides; the only subjective one there is if a player is interfering with play.

He won the league so is pretty happy either way.
