Summary
Erling Haaland said the wait before Kylian Mbappé’s penalty against Morocco was excessive after a VAR review delayed the kick by more than three minutes.
“Need to wait five min to take a penalty is way too long,” Haaland wrote on Snapchat while watching France’s win during downtime before Norway’s next match.
Mbappé missed the first-half penalty after the review, turning the delay into the focal point of Haaland’s criticism.
Haaland now shifts back to tournament action with Norway set to face England in the quarterfinals on Saturday.
