📸 VAR pulled off the craziest moment of the year this weekend 😱 | OneFootball

Well then...

Let's head to Belgium, where this football weekend was marked by an improbable situation that’s causing quite a stir on the other side of the border.

On Saturday, Westerlo hosted Gent.

In the 60th minute, Isa Sakamoto thought he had opened the scoring for the home side. Problem is, the goal was disallowed for an offside by Nacho Ferri, Westerlo’s striker, who provided the decisive pass in the play.

A very borderline offside, which VAR initially confirmed... before rather grotesquely reversing its decision, let’s be honest!

In fact, the first image seems to indicate that Ferri is indeed offside, at the top of his shoulder.

But a few seconds later, the broadcast of the match showed the VAR and viewers an image displaying the offside line, which is supposed to be placed at the level of the last defender to see if the attacker is actually ahead of him—and therefore ahead of this line, which in reality, is aligned with nothing.

The line is in front of the defender... and in front of the attacker flagged offside.

A completely crazy alignment error that makes the action impossible to judge. Was Nacho Ferri offside? It remains a mystery...

The final score of the match? 0-0...

Issame Charaï, Westerlo’s coach, didn’t mince his words: "For Belgian football, I think it’s a scandal that we don’t know which line is supposed to be drawn."

Imagine if this madness happened in France...
