The Colombian Football Federation published the VAR audios corresponding to the classic capital between Millionaires and Independiente Santa Fe, played for the last day of the semifinal home runs. The attention focused on the first goal of the game, scored by Hugo Rodallega at minute 2, an action that was carefully reviewed by the VAR and ended up being validated after an initial doubt outside.
The arbitration commission supported the decision of Central Andrés Rojas and the Var team, led by Heider Castro and Lisandro Castillo as an assistant, ensuring that all protocols were applied correctly. “The VAR, in its protocol check and using its best angles, plans and the correct line layout system, identifies that the player is behind the ball line,” says the statement that accompanies the disseminated audios.
Initially, the line judge lifted the flag as possible out of Rodallega after a pass from Harold Santiago Mosquera, which arrived after a loss of Nicolás Arévalo's ball near the area. However, after the line layout, the goal was validated. The television images did not offer absolute clarity, but the technology did: for the VAR, there was no infraction to rule 11.
The FCF only published the audios corresponding to that play. Nothing was said about the second of Santa Fe, noted by Ewil Murillo, although there was also an arbitration review. In that case, the Red referee was called to review a possible foul on Stiven Vega before the recovery of the ball, but after seeing the images he maintained his original decision and validated the goal.
The omission of that second audio leaves open questions, especially because it is a play that also generated discussion in media and networks. Even so, since the Federation only the support for arbitration action has been disseminated in the initial goal.
