[HIGHLIGHTS] The VAR of Riestra - River was known: the incredible details of the play that began as a penalty, mutated into a free kick and expulsion and ended in offside

Referee Andrés Merlos used the screen twice for the same play. The VAR room in Ezeiza warned that the foul was not inside the area.

Merlos looked at the image again and again and returned to the playing field. The referee annulled González Pirez's red card, voided the free kick in favor of Riestra - which had initially been sanctioned as a penalty - and the stopped ball It happened to be for River. In seven minutes the VAR avoided a referee error and then one of its own. The play against River could be one more of those that Deportivo Riesta has in its history of controversial rulings.
