As Clement reflected on the missed penalty incident, he reiterated his disappointment in the lack of action taken by the match officials. Emphasizing the significance of such details in a game, he underlined the need for increased accuracy and consistency in decision-making processes involving VAR.
The Belgian coach remained a staunch advocate for the use of technology in football, acknowledging its potential to enhance officiating standards. However, he stressed that for VAR to be truly effective, improvements in decision-making were essential to ensure a fair and just outcome for all teams involved.

With the spotlight firmly on them, he expressed confidence that the officiating team would strive for precision and correctness in their judgments to maintain the integrity of the game.
