The goal has proven a major talking point and even the Spanish media have been left scratching their heads.
It's a moment that has sparked heated conversation - and even the opposition reckon Scotland havee been dealt a bitter blow.
Referee Serdar Gozubuyuk is copping some serious flak alongside VAR after his decision to rule out Scott McTominay's howitzer free-kick against Spain during a Euro 2024 qualifying match. A draw would have booked the Tartan Army's place in Germany and eventually it was deemed Jack Hendry was offside in the build-up.
That call may have pacified some anger, had the officiating team not deemed it a foul after a VAR review before flip-flopping on their decision back to offside. Morata's strike and a Ryan Porteous own goal eventually sealed a 2-0 victory in Seville for the hosts and means Scotland turn into Spanish fans this Sunday, as anything but a defeat for them in Norway seals tournament qualification. And respected news outlet AS have even admitted that Hendry's contact with Simon was minimal.
They wrote: "McTominay bounced it and the ball went directly into the Spanish goal, but the VAR rang the bell and the Dutchman Gözübüyük went to the screen while La Cartuja swallowed saliva. Finally, the goal was annulled due to Hendry's foul on Unai Simón, a light touch, a light push that rescued more than one person from the memory of the Glasgow train robbery.
"It was a serious scare that encouraged De la Fuente to add more wood with Navas and Sancet replacing Carvajal and Merino."
