3. Karim Benzema Vs Goal Line Technology (2014)
Goal Line Technology, implemented for the first time following the 2010 Frank Lampard debacle, was set to revolutionize the way footballing decisions at goal mouth implemented. However, in the case of Karim Benzema, the technology was a source of bane. Having already scored two goals in the first half, Benzema struck a magnificent volley that seemed goalbound, only to bounce off the back post before going in. Goal Line technology rewarded the goal to France but incorrectly declared it as a Noel Valladares own goal. Thereby denying Benzema the opportunity to walk away with the match ball at full time.
