They would probably also want to bring in hawkeye to determine the track of the ball and whether or not it would have ended up in the net.
They don't actually need to do anything different supersub, instead of the ref awarding a penalty, just award a goal. He is in effect awarding a goal 90% of the time when he gives the pen anyway, Why give the cheats a possible get out, just give the goal without the rigmarole of the penalty kick.
