The decision to dispense with the
VAR
in the first phase of the Copa Libertadores generates controversy.
And it was not the exception in the night of Avellaneda.
River's first goal was illegal.
There was offside
by Rafael Santos Borré.
However, referee
Roberto Tobar
and his assistant judge did not notice.
It happened 7 minutes into the second half.
Nicolás De La Cruz's corner kick arrived,
Adrián Gabbarini
jumped and fumbled the blow and, behind the goalkeeper's body, he bounced off a River player.
The ball went straight to Borré, who only had to push it to goal.
However, the Colombian
was in an advanced position
, in front of the line of the number 1 of Liga de Quito, former goalkeeper of Independiente, scene of the match.

Has the confusion of the Chilean referee and his collaborator had to do with the location of Gonzalo Piovi, who was behind the sentence line, inside the goal?
It's a posibility.
The truth is that had the VAR worked, the goal would have been canceled.
