Wouldn’t it just make more sense to give the goal? How is it denial of a goal scoring opportunity if a goal was scored?

My only guess is because Haaland fouled Szoboszlai after Szoboszlai fouled him. So by their reasoning you can’t award the advantage to Haaland since he immediately commits a foul that stops Szoboszlai from a goal line clearance. So you go back to the original foul that started the sequence. But in my view the referee played the advantage so you either call the foul by Haaland or you allow the goal. It materialized so the foul by Szoboszlai becomes irrelevant.

In all honesty this is probably one of those bizarre situations that might cause IFAB to give guidance on in the 26/27 LOTG.
