New and improved video technology to aid the accuracy of officials’ decisions was out in force at the Stade de France and the latest trial of the new systems proved to be a big success.

Les Bleus star Antoine Griezmann headed in what appeared to be the opening goal in Paris shortly after half-time – and then wheeled away in celebration.

However, the striker’s celebrations were cut short when Layvin Kurzawa was shown to be in an offside position as he set up the Atletico Madrid striker.

The goal was subsequently disallowed.

Midfield maestro David Silva then converted from the penalty spot after a foul by Laurent Koscielny to put Spain one up, before the Spaniards again profited from technology as the referee reversed an offside decision that had initially ruled out Gerard’s Deulofeu 78th-minute effort.

The linesman’s flag was raised as Deulofeu tapped in Jordi Alba’s left-wing cross, but replays indicated the on-loan AC Milan winger was marginally behind Samuel Umtiti as the ball was played into the box.
