Beligoy on the VAR: “We made a mistake and we take responsibility, Banfield’s was not a penalty”

“We are not escaping reality. For a matter of preserving the referees and the tool, in this first stage we are not showing all the ‘VAR output’. We are working on a communication plan that we will do in the future. We interpret that it was not penalty and since there is a lot of talk, we give our position”said the former referee.

banfield surpassed River by 1 to 0 and five minutes into the second half, the VAR detected a supposed hand of the defender Frank Quinteros in his unsuccessful attempt to clear the ball with his head.

“The VAR identifies a wrong situation and calls (Pablo) Echavarría to review the situation and the referee did not make the best decision. We were wrong, like when we were wrong when we did not have VAR. Until the game with Banfield-River, there was a impeccable date, but the errors with VAR, are multiplied by a million”said beligoy.

The national director of Arbitration explained that the situation “He does not have a criminal identity” because the defender jumped “in natural position”and therefore, the movement of the hand “it’s natural”.

The VARin charge of Dario Herrerasummoned Echavarria to review the play. The match referee, after a few minutes, validated the penalty that Enzo Fernandez turned into a goal for River’s comeback that kept the three points through a goal from Matias Suarez for the final 2-1.

“This error will serve as an example for what is to come”hill Beligoy.
