AIBU to refuse a Year 9 staying up for the 1am match?

Is this unreasonable?
Apparently "every other mum" is letting their school year 9 kid watch the 1am match tonight and phone in sick to school tomorrow morning then go in at lunch.
I've said no to staying up to watch it. Starts at 1am, it will go on till 3:30am, or later if extra time!
DS has to get up at 6:30 for school.
DH says let him, keeps going on about once every 4 years experience, it's only 1 night, etc. And he says it will be the final England match - they'll be knocked out by Mexico tonight so there will be no other England games to watch after tonight.
DS badly needs his sleep and at 14 he still needs a solid 11 hours to function.
Is anyone else letting their DC watch it live tonight?
AIBU?

Where you watching the same match as me- 'terrible'? Do you see the spectacular goals from Haaland? I think the whole of Norway would possibly disagree with you on that!

Were not "where"- been a long night..

Maybe it could be acting out the national sport - lining up at the job center to sign on.
