In the 5th minute, Romania demanded a penalty after Icelandic captain Gunnarsson struck the ball with his hand in his own box.
The ball comes from a teammate and Gunnarsson does not withdraw his hand quickly enough to avoid contact.
Slovenia’s Skomina, one of the leaders of the current UEFA squad, decided it wasn’t a penalty. The VAR assistants told him the same thing. Iceland’s match was Romania’s first with the assistance of the virtual referee.
According to the FIFA regulations for the 2020-2021 season, it is not a blow if the ball comes close to the head or body (including the foot) of a player or a footballer close to him, located at a short distance. The referees probably considered that the distance between the two Icelandic players was too small, so they did not penalize.
IFAB Regulation:
In the 26th minute, after another great corner kick, Alibec finished off leaving the ball just beyond the reach of Skomina, who managed to touch the ball, but it did not enter by millimeters.
