One minute after Matthew Upson brought England back within a goal of Germany, Frank Lampard scored to apparently make it 2-2; however, the England midfielder’s chip over goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was not credited as a goal, though he shot off the bottom of the cross bar landed one yard behind the goal line.

Replays clearly showed two-to-three feet of grass between where the ball landed and the goal line, with Neuer unable to reach the Lampard’s chip before it went against the bottom of the cross hair. The linesman, however, did not signal for the tying goal.
The match, now in first half stoppage time, remains Germany 2, England 1.
