Keeper Manuel Neuer relieved at Frank Lampard's disallowed goal

June 27, 2010 - Bloemfontein, South Africa - epa02226638 German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is beaten and the ball touches down behind the goal line but referee ruled that the ball did not crossed the line during the FIFA World Cup 2010 Round of 16 match between Germany and England at the Free State stadium in Bloemfontein, South Africa, 27 June 2010.


With England 2-1 down, Frank Lampard was convinced he had equalised when his shot beat Neuer before hitting the underside of the bar.
The ball bounced down and TV replays showed it had gone about two feet over the line. To Lampard's astonishment, Uruguayan referee Jorge Larrionda disallowed his effort.

It was a pivotal moment in the World Cup last-16 match as Germany went on to win 4-1 at the Free State Stadium.

Neuer was all smiles at the end of the game as England prepared to pack their bags and head home.

Neuer said: "I tried not to react to the referee and just concentrate on what was happening - it was difficult. I knew it was close.

"Then I saw it on the television in the doping control office and what actually happened. I knew it was tight - probably about two metres."
