What was harder to determine, even with multiple replays, was whether Matanovic touched the ball.

This was where the Connected Ball Technology, which relies on a microchip installed in the Adidas Trionda ball, came into play.

The inertia measurement unit sensor produces a clear waveform graphic and spikes when contact is made. In this case, the spike shattered Croatia’s dreams.

On its X account, FIFA Media explained: “According to the data provided by Connected Ball Technology... it was proven that contact was made by Croatia’s #20 Igor Matanovic in the build up to the goal against Portugal, allowing the referee to correctly determine offside and disallow the goal.

“IMU sensors housed within the Trionda ball are capable of determining any slight contact, displayed to viewers in the broadcast as a ‘heartbeat graphic’, and allowing officials an unprecedented level of data to make fast, accurate decisions.”
