Although in the football of Honduras has not approved the VAR nor is there the technology needed to be able to apply it, in the end between Olympia and Marathon at the National Stadium a controversial action has taken place where the referee quartet made a decision on an external recommendation from a box office.
This has been confirmed by the coaches of Olympia and Marathon in the respective press conferences they have given at the end of the meeting.
And is that in the 57th minute Jonathan Pau scored a goal which caused confusion, as at the time of touching the ball there was only one Marathon defender at the finish line as goalkeeper Denovan Torres had come out to avoid a shot on his bow.
According to rule 11, “A player will be in an offside position if: he is closer to the opposing goal line than the ball and the PENULTIMATE opponent.”
the line Cristian Ramírez initially ran in midfield validating the goal, but then retracted and this is where the Argentinianor Pedro Troglio stated that “They removed the VAR, From there (off the field) they were warned, it is well annulled and I think it was already validated, it is a bit crazy, but it is good, already, the 2-0 is a not inconsiderable result “.
Vargas also reported that “The best there was VAR, they warned through the VAR and canceled it “.
