VAR audio released for River’s controversial incidents | OneFootball

The AFA released the VAR audio from the match in which River defeated Estudiantes de Río Cuarto 2-0, focusing on the plays that sparked controversy. Referee Nazareno Arasa and VAR official Salomé Di Iorio explained the decisions that were made.

The plays reviewed by VAR

The first incident was a penalty awarded to River for a handball by Matías Valenti. After the review, VAR determined that the offense took place outside the box, so Arasa changed his decision and awarded a free kick along with a yellow card.

In the second half, VAR intervened in a goal by Estudiantes de Río Cuarto. It was ruled that the forward was offside and gained an advantage after a deflection by Lucas Martínez Quarta, so the goal was disallowed.

The penalty that opened the scoring was also reviewed, after a foul on Sebastián Driussi, and it was ultimately confirmed and converted by Gonzalo Montiel.
