  "account": "In the Women's Champions League match between Real Madrid and Manchester City, a disallowed goal by Silvia Cristobal in the 89th minute led to much discussion. According to the Sporting News, Italian referee Silvia Gasperotti made the decision to disallow the goal due to her interfering with the play. The situation was unusual, with Gasperotti in a position to make the call as a clearance deflected toward the top of the 18-yard box. Cristobal reached the ball first, but Manchester City winger Lauren Hemp was unable to challenge the shot because she ran into the back of Gasperotti. The referee, aware of the situation, stopped play just before Cristobal took the shot, ultimately denying her a potential winning goal.",
  "summary": "With the new season of the UEFA Women's Champions League under way, Real Madrid thought they had secured a statement victory at home on a late winner, but saw the moment nullified by the referee.",
