The Uruguayan put it into his goal but the play was invalidated at the request of the VAR.
One of the controversies that occurred in the first half of the great game between Valley Independent y Barcelona at the Banco Guayaquil Stadium was the goal against Renzo López which was annulled at the request of OUR. The Uruguayan put it in his goal but BSC’s partial draw did not count. Why was it annulled?
The play occurred at 19 minutes, with IDV up 1-0 in the result. Kitu Díaz, with great height, took charge of a free kick, the ball was deflected by the Uruguayan striker and ended inside Guido Villar‘s goalwho couldn’t do anything.
But when everything was smiles for the Idolo del Astillero, Judge Aragón was called from the VAR to review the action. Although it was an offside, the referee approached the screen to see the play since it required interpretation.
Although it was a goal against, the goal was annulled due to offside by a BSC player. How is it possible? Of course, Paco Rodríguez -offside at the time of Kitu’s free kick- interfered in the action: He jumped and bothered López, who ended up heading the ball awkwardly.
