No information from the test was passed to the referee Peter Rasmussen during the game. The information was used only for private assessment of how Hawk-Eye’s football application is shaping up.

England manager Roy Hodgson gave the test his seal of approval in the run-up to the game, saying: ‘It is another advance technologically and one which I hope will prove successful and will at least banish some of the ghosts of the past.

‘I don’t think there are too many people in football who have too many objections to goal-line technology because there is nothing worse than losing a game because a goal you scored has been disallowed when everybody can see afterwards that it was a goal.’
