A goal by the Colombian defender, but the play was nullified due to an alleged disagreement. The referee Jesús Valenzuela received a communication from the VAR and after several minutes decided to invalidate the action. He didn’t go to look at her, he was all over the intercom.
The VAR images are broadcast on the TV broadcast they do not show that Davinson was out of place, author of the goal. Jhon Córdoba is the one in front, but he does not interfere or take part in the goal. Sánchez is on the blue line and in the same position as the Brazilian defenders.
