A bright laser was shone on his eyes from the spectators' seats right as the ball was kicked.

But the goalkeeper still managed to save that one kick. Unfortunately, he pushed the ball onto the striker's foot, giving a rebound and making a winning goal.
Fans and sports observers were outraged at the result, asking for the perpetrator to be banned for life. They were voicing it heavily on Twitter, with many agreeing and demanded the fan be banned from any future ball game.

Fans are tweeting out of rage at the unfair results. One wrote, "Whoever shone that laser pen in Kasper Schmeichel's face wants banning for life."
Another angry fan wrote, "Whoever showed that laser to Schmeichel's face deserves a permanent ban from Wembley and further England games."
Several individuals took this opportunity to remain fellow Englishmen to remain graceful as fans.

There are differing opinions on how the laser may or may not had affected the game. Some believe the goalie was fine as he still managed to block the shot, but others didn't think it was a fair game. One thing they did agree on was the laser flashing requires stern actions from Euro 2020 to ensure future games won't be interrupted like this again.
A dangerous act that should never be allowed to happen again: fans agree the 'fan' should be banned for life.
