PORTO (Reuters) - A penalty to Portugal suddenly turned into a penalty for opponents Switzerland after an extraordinary incident involving the VAR system at the Nations League on Wednesday.
Portugal were 1-0 ahead early in the second half when Swiss midfielder Steven Zuber, running onto a through ball from Xherdan Shaqiri, went down under a challenge from Nelson Semedo and appealed for a penalty.
