Debateable whether going into half time 2-2 with the momentum rather than 2-1 down and still having to go all out to equalise was "meaningless" but we'll never know. There's certainly a chance the second half might have been different but either way I don't recall legal action over it. Referee's decision is supposed to be final.
It probably was for the good of the game though in putting further pressure on the goal line technology debate. It needed to happen in a big match on the big stage. I recall it also happened in the FA Cup final that year.
