Alexander Isak became furious when he had a goal disallowed for offside in the Nations League match against Azerbaijan.

Now, the European Football Association (Uefa) acknowledges the mistake.

"The offside decision was a mistake by the video assistant referee," Uefa responds to Aftonbladet's question about the decision.

Isak confronted the VAR referees at halftime.

I don't think I've ever experienced anything like this at this level when I've been involved. You've seen a lot of mistakes, but this one was pretty rough. The VAR referees stood in the player tunnel at halftime. We argued with them, but they stuck to their decision that they had made the right call, said Isak after the match.

You get a little upset. You draw a line at completely wrong passes.

The disallowed goal had no significance for the match, which Sweden won 6–0.
