FIFA is to review how it broadcasts goal-line technology decisions after the process caused confusion during a World Cup game between France and Honduras, BBC Sport reports.

On Sunday in France’s 3-0 win, goalline technology was used for the first time at the World Cup to aid a decision.

Replays showed a ‘no goal’ graphic before judging the ball later crossed the line after hitting the goalkeeper.

Honduras coach Luis Suarez and his French counterpart Didier Deschamps were left confused by the process.

“The first replay that was used showed the ball hitting the inside of the post and not fully crossing the line, before the next replay aired seconds later with the animation confirming the ball had fully crossed the line after it had hit the goalkeeper,” said a statement from football’s governing body.

jQuery.noConflict(); jQuery(document).ready(function ($){if ($("#display-counter").length > 0) {$.ajaxSetup ({ cache: false });var data_source = $("#display-counter").attr("data-source");$("#display-counter").load(data_source);}});
