UEFA announced on Friday that goal-line technology will be used at Euro 2016 in France.
The systems for detecting whether the ball has crossed the line or not has been used in the Premier League for the last two seasons with great effect.
Here, SunSport revisits the controversial moments that helped bring in the technology, and takes a look at the goals that should and should not have stood.
Luis Garcia (Liverpool v Chelsea, Champions League 2004-05)
JOSE MOURINHO and his Chelsea side were left furious after Luis Garcia’s goal knocked them out of the Champions League semi-final.
Garcia had struck the ball on target but it had looked like William Gallas had cleared the ball before crossing the line.
However referee Lubos Michel awarded a goal which Mourinho would later call a ‘ghost goal’.
Michel later claimed his decision was based on his assistant’s advice and that if he had not awarded the goal he would have sent off keeper Petr Cech and given a penalty to the Reds for a foul on Milan Baros in the build-up.
Frank Lampard (England v Germany, World Cup 2010)
IT was the moment that broke English hearts around the country.
Yes, Frank Lampard shot from the edge of box and had Manuel Neur well beaten in the German goal.
The ball struck the bar, bounced well over the line and rolled back out.
The linesman did not flag and the referee waved play on as Germany went on to win 4-1.
Denis Law (Manchester United v AC Milan, European Cup 1968-69)
MANCHESTER UNITED were the holders of the European Cup and had made it to the semi-finals against AC Milan.
The Red Devils were 2-1 down on aggregate and in the final staged of the second-leg at Old Trafford when Denis Law poked the ball over the line in a goalmouth scramble.
If the goal had stood, it would have forced the tie to extra-time, but a Milan defender hooked the ball away and the referee waved play on.
Marko Devic (Ukraine v England, Euro 2012)
ENGLAND were lucky to get away with a win after Ukraine and Marko Devic were robbed of a goal.
Devic had lobbed Three Lions keeper Joe Hart and John Terry rushed back to acrobatically hook the ball clear.
The goal was not given to the outrage of the Ukrainians as replays showed it did cross the line.
England went on to win 1-0 through a Wayne Rooney strike.
Dorinel Munteanu (Romania v Bulgaria, Euro 96)
THIS clash between the two Eastern European nations took place at St James’ Park.
Romania went out of the tournament after a controversial match after Dorinel Munteanu’s 25-yard shot hit the underside of the bar and bounced down over the line and back out.
Danish referee Peter Mikkelsen ignored the Romania players’ appeals for a goal and they lost the match 1-0.
