Kerap Jadi Kontroversi, Apa Itu "Gol Hantu"?

"Itu adalah gol yang datang dari bulan, dari tribune Anfield," kata Mourinho.

"Saya merasakan kekuatan Anfield, itu luar biasa. Saya merasa tidak mengganggu pemain saya, tetapi mungkin mengganggu orang lain dan mungkin mengganggu hasil," tutur pelatih yang kini menukangi AS Roma itu.

Kini, "gol hantu" sudah jarang terjadi karena adanya teknologi berupa goal line technology dan Video Assistant Referee (VAR).

Akan tetapi, di kompetisi yang belum menggunakan goal line technology dan VAR seperti Liga Indonesia, "goal hantu" masih bisa terjadi. Contohnya adalah "goal hantu" Marc Klok dalam laga Persib vs Persija.

Pedro Mendes' 50-yard effort was dropped by Roy Carroll who scrambled the ball away, despite it being well over the goal line. Amazingly, the goal wasn't given. This happened in the 89th minute. #GGMU #COYS pic.twitter.com/TLIOZATRH0
