[Sport] VAR: the reasons for not calling a hand in favor of Colombia against Brazil

[Akrapovic]

In the Metropolitan of Barranquilla, the Colombian team could not score the five-time champion Brazil and in the table the tricolor is still in the repechage zone with 15 units.

 

 

 

But the game could have a different ending. At minute 67, a corner kick by Juan Fernando Quintero hits Raphinha's left hand: that action could have been a penalty.

 

The center of the game, the Argentine Patricio Loustau, calls the VAR indicating that he did not see the play.

 

—He played yellow, I don't see, I don't see. Loustau is heard saying.

"Don't play, don't play." They say from the VAR asking for time to review the action.

"For me it hit the body." The Argentine judge affirms.

The controversy was generated seconds later when one of the VAR judges assures that "nobody claims anything."

 

 

During the dialogue it was also heard that the penalty was not whistled because Raphinha "is not expanding the body, it is shrinking."

 

The next duel of those led by Reinaldo Rueda will be against Ecuador this Thursday. The selected from the center of the world is a direct rival of the tricolor and occupies the third box with 16 points.
