Colón faced Aldosivi for the eighth date of the League Cup. The visiting team began by winning with a penalty goal by Martín Cauteruccio, at 16 minutes of the game. The maximum penalty was sanctioned after the VAR, commanded by Mauro Vigliano, warned the referee Nicolás Lamolina about Gian Nardelli’s hand. At 29, Lucas Beltrán reached the tie, while Edwin Mosquera and Matías Pisano achieved the final 3-1 for Tiburón at 34 ‘and 49’ of the complement.
Regarding the punctual action of the VAR, the hand is voluntary and it was acted correctly according to the protocol that raises the call to the referee to review the action. He considered that the Colón defender was stumbling, but he voluntarily accommodated the ball with his other hand, in the face of Braian Martínez de Aldosivi’s siege. The regulation says that “the player who touches the ball voluntarily with his hand or arm, including the movement towards the ball with these parts of the body, will commit an infraction”. The action occurred 12 minutes into the first half.
The debut of technology in Argentine soccer was correct. The protocol warns that when the ball stops, the VAR advises the judge that it is reviewing a possible handball infraction and not to resume. After this, the judge went to review it and considered the call from the control in charge of Vigliano correct. Finally, Lamolina decided that it was a voluntary hand and sanctioned the maximum penalty.
