TV producer and Spanish FA in VAR row
The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) accused TV producers of manipulating VAR images after Denis Cheryshev’s goal was allowed in Valencia’s 1-0 win against Athletic Club on Saturday.
VAR ruled that Maxi Gomez was onside when in the build-up to Cheryshev’s 27th-minute strike, which proved to be the winning goal.
Confusion arose when lines added to the live footage of Cheryshev’s goal initially showed he was marginally offside, though the VAR officials adjudged the goal should stand.
The official VAR line used by the officials did not appear on the TV footage until the second half of the match, doing little to clear up the uncertainty.
