However, a linesman erroneously indicated that Hutchinson was offside, and the referee Benito Archundia subsequently nullified Hutchinson's goal. Video replays showed that the football came into contact with the U.S.A.'s defender Oguchi Onyewu immediately before Hutchinson scored the goal. fr Le Canada perd dans la controverse https://www.rds.ca/soccer/le-canada-perd-dans-la-controverse-1.162644 June 21, 2007 RDS September 27, 2022 September 29, 2022 https://web.archive.org/web/20220929191959/https://www.rds.ca/soccer/le-canada-perd-dans-la-controverse-1.162644 dead en Canada gets jilted in Gold Cup semi-final https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/canada-gets-jilted-in-gold-cup-semi-final/article20404823/ June 21, 2007 The Globe and Mail September 27, 2022 en Controversy Follows United States Into Gold Cup Final https://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/22/sports/soccer/22goldcup.html June 22, 2007 The New York Times September 27, 2022 Therefore, according to the laws of the game, there was no offside offence for Hutchinson.
