Explaining the Controversies: VAR Decisions in River Plate vs Huracán Match

2024-03-30 13:32:45

On a night that River will seek to quickly bury in memories, controversies took over the scene in two specific situations: the goal by debutant Daniel Zabala at the dawn of the game that was annulled for offside and later a penalty that all of Huracán claimed once morest Ignacio Pussetto. What is the explanation for those failures that were talked regarding so much?

The match between the Millonario and the Globe had not yet settled when Esequiel Barco sent a cross from a free kick towards the local team’s area two minutes into the game and the 21-year-old central defender defined with a backheel to send the ball to the back of the network. However, upon review, the goal was invalidated.

As tycsports.com learned, the explanation of the referee’s shortlist – headed by Leandro Rey Hilfer – to sanction this has to do with the fact that the VAR notices that Zabala has his shoulder forward in relation to the position of Lucas Carrizo (the Huracán player that clashes with River’s in the action), which is the one that marks the line.

And the penalty once morest Pussetto that was discussed so much? Around 30 minutes into the first half, the ex-Udinese and Watford player entered the area with a pure dribble, leaving Ignacio Fernández in his path, but when it came time to face González Pirez and Villagra he was knocked down by the defender. At first glance it can be seen that it blocks his right foot and causes him to lose his balance, committing an infraction that would not be sanctioned.

However, the truth is that Rey Hilfer interprets that Pussetto brings his legs together and seeks contact with Pirez, and not the other way around. The referee sees this and immediately communicates it to the VAR, although he also asks him to check it to confirm it; Immediately followingwards, Jorge Baliño and the AVAR, Juan Del Fueyo, review the play and give the right to the judge.
