But I did not have a perfect viewing angle. I did not clearly see the point of impact. I knew that the foot was high,  that a sending-off was an option. But we had played for 25 minutes in the most important game of our lives, and I was not willing to take that risk. With hindsight, yes, I would change the decision.  WIN 50,000!
