VAR will continue to be talked about until it corrects mistakes like this.
This Sunday, Montpellier moved to Strasbourg. While leading by one goal, Olivier Dall’Oglio‘s men found themselves outnumbered after a foul by Wahi.
The slow motion is very formal. The attacker, however, touched the ball in a legal manner. Apparently that wasn’t enough for video support to intervene.
“I furtively reviewed the images, I indeed think that it is severe”, even commented Julien Stéphan, the opposing coach.
“This expulsion is very severe because it does not touch the player. It hit us behind the ears and then the equalizer hurt us morally. I regret that the referee did not take the time instead of rushing out and pulling out the red” reacted the coach of Montpellier.
There was indeed reason to be frustrated.
