El partido sirvió además de debut de Ramiro Funes Mori, defensor argentino que ya jugó y marcó su primer gol en la Liga MX.
Nuevamente el VAR fue protagonista de mala manera en el duelo entre Cruz Azul y Toluca pues con mucha polémica sancionó un penal en los minutos finales de Sebastián Jurado que les costó la derrota.
Un pisotón del guardameta sobre Haret Ortega desató la polémica pues hasta el propio Diego Aguirre se fue a revisar la jugada e el VAR parado detrás de la cabina lo que ocasionó su expulsión.
A Jurado también lo expulsaron y Bacca y Rivero terminaron amonestados y como Cruz Azul ya había agotado sus cambios, el portero suplente Jesús Corona no pudo ingresar y fue Juan Escobar el que se puso los guantes.

For at least one day, we can all agree that a VAR review was a welcome development
VAR isn’t always the most popular part of the game. But in an Argentinian league match on Wednesday, the oft-maligned technology produced perhaps the finest moment in its history.
The scene: Midway through the second half with Lanús and Vélez tied, Vélez defender Francisco Ortega is shielding the ball from Lanús forward Mateo Sanabria.
Suddenly, Ortega loses his cool. He shoves Sanabria in the chest and the young forward, naturally, makes the most of it by rolling around on the ground clutching his face.
Referee Luis Lobo Medina shows Ortega a yellow card but, all of a sudden, he hears something in his ear from the video official. There’s something he needs to check out.
And after a video review, there it is: Subtly, almost too fast for the human eye to see, Sanabria can be seen reaching under Ortega and … grabbing him in exactly the place he would not want to be grabbed.
Medina goes back to the pitch. Red card for Sanabria. Justice.
And, for one day at least, everyone can agree that VAR got the job done right.
A great day for VAR, using additional replays to send someone off for performing an on field oil check. Good riddance. pic.twitter.com/uvKUy9AwaS

Esperemos que la polémica arbitral disminuya y la segunda parte de la eliminatoria sea justa
Una buena noticia para la Concacaf, las seis jornadas restantes de la eliminatoria rumbo a Qatar 2022 se jugarán con la ayuda del VAR arbitral.
Concacaf, junto a África y Oceanía eran las únicas confederaciones que no estaban utilizando la asistencia de la tecnología en video para el arbitraje.
Pero las limitaciones terminaron, FIFA acaba de renovar gafetes a los silbantes autorizados para utilizar el VAR y entregó nuevos a silbantes centroamericanos, luego de que solo los mexicanos, estadounidenses y canadienses tenían la certificación al utilizar la tecnología en sus ligas.
Esto significa que habrá VAR en Concacaf para las seis jornadas restantes luego de la polémica que se ha generado en la eliminatoria en jugadas decisivas que no han sido sancionadas con buen criterio.
Una empresa será la encargada de proveer de VAR a los estadios donde no se cuenta con la tecnología en Honduras, Jamaica, El Salvador, Costa Rica y Panamá por lo que todas las sedes estarían cubiertas con la ayuda arbitral.
Esperemos que la polémica arbitral disminuya y la segunda parte de la eliminatoria sea justa, pues será decisiva para definir los tres pases directos y el cuarto sitio que va al repechaje.
Across essentially all major sports, we’ve seen replay take an expanded role in correcting mistakes — or, in MLB’s case, upholding obvious errors.
But if there’s one event that we all thought was safe from replay stoppages, it probably would be the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Well, I have some bad news because VAR has infiltrated the Spelling Bee. Yes! The Spelling Bee went to replay.
During Thursday’s finals, Roy Seligman was knocked out of the competition after replay review determined that he actually misspelled “ambystoma.” The VAR folks (I’m calling it VAR) determined that Seligman gave an “i” instead of “y,” which led to one of the roughest eliminations you’ll see in a Spelling Bee.
The way the judge had to soften the blow for Seligman with a bunch of compliments while delivering the bad news just goes to show how out of place replay review was in that competition. If the judges couldn’t hear the word correctly, then that’s on the judges. You can’t go back and check the tape. It’s a Spelling Bee! It’s not like you have Angel Hernandez behind the plate or something.
After audio review, the judges determined that #Speller1 Roy Seligman did misspell ambystoma. No one envies the judges on having to make these calls. Roy represented The Bahamas wonderfully tonight and throughout the competition. #SpellingBee#TheBeeIsBack

You really have to feel for Seligman. I can’t imagine what the emotional rollercoaster of thinking he spelled the word correctly must have been like only to have it taken away by VAR.
He took it well, but man, that was tough to watch.
Tigres cayó ante Bayern Munich con un gol que debió ser anulado por una mano en el área, los alemanes consiguieron el sextete
¡Era mano! así de simple, la jugada que definió el título del Mundial de Clubes fue de manera ilegal pues el jugador del Bayern Munich cometió mano en el área que ni el VAR pudo detectar.
Mano de Lewandowski en el gol de Pavard, el árbitro VAR concedió gol ilegal al Bayern.pic.twitter.com/LPhjOGV6rL
El Bayern Munich se impuso a los Tigres 1-0 con gol de Pavard a los 59 minutos en una jugada donde Lewandowski cometió una mano dentro del área en el pase de gol.
La jugada se revisó en el VAR, por la sospecha de fuera de juego y la revisión dictaminó que no hubo posición adelantada según mostró la transmisión, nada sobre una supuesta mano en el área que posteriormente las tomas desnudaron como un error arbitral que significó el triunfo para el Bayern Munich.
Tigres cae con mucha dignidad
Los Tigres consiguieron el segundo lugar histórico con mucha dignidad y hasta con polémica pues hicieron un gran partido ante el campeón europeo que tuvo que recurrir al VAR para poder vencer el cerco defensivo impuesto por el Tuca Ferreti.
No fue poca cosa controlar al Bayern Munich y su maquinaria para hacer futbol, incluso en el primer tiempo el VAR ya había anulado un gol de los alemanes por posición adelantada, tuvieron sus sustos pero finalmente lograron manejar las acciones cerrando bien los espacios y sostuvieron durante una hora el cero en su portería.
😂 NAHUEL GUZMÁN FUE A ACUSAR A LEWANDOWSKI POR SU MANO 😂
El Tuca Ferreti planteó un partido apostándole al orden defensivo y les salió a la perfección, Bayern no se vio muy superior a Tigres en la mayor parte del partido aunque sí controló las acciones inclinando la balanza a su favor.
El problema para el Tuca fue el ataque, nunca pudieron entrar al área rival y fue más evidente cuando se vieron en desventaja, los Tigres no tuvieron recursos ni imaginación para buscar el empate por más esfuerzo que vimos en el francés André-Pierre Gignac.
Bayern Munich cierra 2020 perfecto con sextete
El Bayern Munich buscaba en el Mundial de Clubes coronar un 2020 perfecto y lo consiguió, recordando que el torneo en Qatar forma parte del mismo ciclo futbolístico pero la pandemia lo retrasó.
El Bayern Munich ganó la Bundesliga, la Copa de Alemania, la Champions, la Supercopa alemana, la Supercopa europea y el Mundial de Clubes.
Los alemanes se unen al Barcelona del 2009 como los únicos equipos en la historia en conseguir el prestigioso sextete.
There are few topics more divisive in professional soccer than the use of Video Assistant Referee (VAR). The replay system was designed to prevent glaring, match-changing errors. But instead, we’ve seen it used to scrutinize things like offside decisions by mere centimeters.
And when a glaring, match-changing error does actually happen, VAR often fails to serve its purpose.
That couldn’t have been more clear than the puzzling decision at the end of the first half of Arsenal’s Premier League matchup against Wolves on Tuesday.
When Wolves’ Willian José made a run at goal, he fell to ground after an apparent foul by Arsenal’s David Luiz. The referee was quick to show Luiz a red card, awarding Wolves a penalty. But replays quickly made that decision look awfully harsh.
Upon review, the backswing of José’s foot sort of made contact with Luiz’s knee. But it wasn’t an intentional contact — more so just two people running naturally. And José’s delayed fall to ground certainly made the entire foul look suspect, at best.
But what did VAR do? It confirmed the call in seconds. Just like that, Wolves converted on the penalty and went into halftime tied at 1-1. Fans could not believe the decision.
For the first time in 100 days, the English Premier League was back in action. And it didn’t take long for the officiating to be the talk of English soccer’s return.
During Wednesday’s match between Aston Villa and Sheffield United, Oliver Norwood took a free kick for Sheffield and sent the ball towards goal. Aston Villa goalkeeper Orjan Nyland hauled in the cross as it curved towards the net but had his momentum (and a bump from a teammate) push him beyond the goal line.
Again, the ball was clearly across the line. I mean, Nyland was grabbing onto the net for balance a good three feet beyond the goal line with the ball past the post. Yet, no goal was given.
As Sheffield players argued with referee Michael Oliver, the referee pointed at his watch to signal that goal-line technology didn’t alert him to the goal. He didn’t want to consult VAR either. None of that sequence made any sense at all.
There’s a chance that Nyland falling behind the goal confused the goal-line technology system as it tracked the ball because otherwise something went wrong there.
But we can’t be too upset. It feels great to have an in-game sports controversy back in our lives.
La FIFA ha hecho oficial la opción de hacer cinco cambios durante un partido de futbol, después de que la propuesta fuera aprobada por la IFAB. La nueva regla pasará por un periodo de transición a partir de ahora y hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2020. …
La FIFA ha hecho oficial la opción de hacer cinco cambios durante un partido de futbol, después de que la propuesta fuera aprobada por la IFAB.
La nueva regla pasará por un periodo de transición a partir de ahora y hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2020. De ser necesario, la fecha podría extenderse aún más.
En el caso del VAR, no se ha eliminado del todo. El ajuste en su uso se refiere a que serán cada una de las ligas locales las que elijan si quieren hacer uso del VAR o prescindir de él.
Punto a punto, así es como quedaron las disposiciones de cambio de jugadores publicadas por la FIFA:
Los dos equipos podrán utilizar un máximo de cinco suplentes.
Para evitar al máximo las interrupciones, cada uno de los equipos dispondrá de tres oportunidades para realizar las cinco sustituciones, que también se podrán llevar a cabo durante el descanso.
Si ambos equipos realizaran una sustitución al mismo tiempo, se restará una oportunidad de sustitución a cada uno de ellos.
En el caso de que se dispute una prórroga, ambos equipos llegarán a esta con el número de suplentes y oportunidades de sustitución que no hayan empleado.
Si el reglamento de la competición permitiera realizar una sustitución más durante la prórroga, los dos equipos dispondrán entonces de una nueva oportunidad.
Por lo que respecta a las competiciones que cuenten con árbitros asistentes de vídeo, estas podrán prescindir de sus servicios una vez reiniciada la competición, siempre que así lo decida el organizador de la misma. No obstante, en las competiciones que decidan continuar con el VAR seguirán en vigor las Reglas de Juego en su integridad y, por extensión, el protocolo del VAR.
You won’t find many Premier League fans who are supporters of the VAR replay system in its current form, and that’ll be especially true in West London.
Chelsea took on Manchester United on Monday at Stamford Bridge in what was a crucial match for the Blues, and they ended up getting a disastrous display from VAR — all resulting in a 2-0 Manchester United win.
The controversy started in the 21st minute when United’s Harry Maguire kicked out at the groin of Chelsea forward Michy Batshuayi. It should have been a clear red card, but when VAR checked the incident, Maguire wasn’t shown a card at all.
Even without acknowledging that a kick to the groin warrants a red card on its own merits, there was precedent to send Maguire off for that contact. It was virtually the same play that had Tottenham’s Heung-min Son sent off for violent contact on Chelsea’s Antonio Rudiger in December.
There’s no consistency with VAR, which allows the system to continue to fail.
Maguire being allowed to stay on the pitch would prove huge later in the match, but we’ll get to that in a bit.
A VAR mistake would hurt Chelsea again in the second half. This time, wiping a goal completely off the board. Kurt Zouma scored in the 55th minute off a corner, but when VAR took a look, it ruled that Cesar Azpilicueta committed a foul before the goal. What VAR didn’t see was that Azpilicueta was pushed, and even the NBC broadcasters were ripping the Premier League’s replay decisions.
Around 10 minutes later, Maguire — who, again, shouldn’t have been in the game anymore — doubled Manchester United’s lead with his first goal of the Premier League season. Of course this happened …
I'm an Arsenal fan, I don't support Chelsea, Honestly VAR has robbed two goals from Chelsea. VAR is useless technology.#CHEMUNpic.twitter.com/7upTcpBROg
Terrible by VAR and terrible result but no time to sulk…. a massive game agaisnt Tottenham next. Hopefully Emerson, Christensen, Kante, Hudson-Odoi, Pulisic and Abraham are back for it. Obviously hoping Loftus-Cheek also but I doubt it
let's be honest VAR deserved that three points more than United. also disappointed in Chelsea for allowing a weak team like United beat them at home despite the robbery
With the loss, Chelsea holds a one-point lead for fourth place over Tottenham. Sheffield United and Manchester United are also within three points of Chelsea.
The impact of the Premier League’s controversial Virtual Assistant Referee system has been a major talking point among soccer fans all season long, and many seem to have hit a breaking point over this disallowed Teemu Pukki goal in Saturday’s Norwich-Tottenham game at Carrow Road.
In the 33rd minute with Norwich up 1-0, Pukki appeared to double the home side’s advantage with a goal off a brilliant cross by Mario Vrancic. The goal was subjected to a VAR review, and after drawing a line from Pukki’s armpit down to the field in an attempt to ascertain his position relative to the defender, it was determined that the striker was offside, apparently by a few millimeters.
Even with the help of VAR technology, it was nearly impossible in this case to conclusively say that Pukki was ahead of the defender at the moment the ball was played in to him, and even if he was, it was by such a microscopic margin that no human referee could ever make a definitive call on in real time. Fans and former players blasted the call on Twitter after the Premier League officially confirmed the decision.
📺 After consulting the VAR, Kevin Friend has overturned the goal because Teemu Pukki was offside in the build-up
Here we go again. More nonsense from VAR. Pukki goal ruled out when level. If you have to draw lines and dots and it’s still not clear one way or the other, then please stop undermining the on-field officials. Absurd.
Sorry, but I’m switching off. On no planet in the solar system should that Pukki goal have been judged offside. VAR is a complete joke, a disaster, a self-inflicted catastrophe. And I’m neither pro-Norwich nor anti-Spurs. I just happen to have loved football for 60-odd years.
Even with the lines drawn on, Pukki looked onside there. The problem we have now is that there’s a bloke in a van somewhere completely unaccountable for these decisions.
When you need the Hubble Telescope to see whether or not a strand of Pukki’s armpit hair was past the final defender, then maybe this isn’t the right way to go about things.
as a striker you are taught to lean forward like Pukki is and keep the feet behind you until the ball is played, with the idea that you’ve got your body in the right shape to go full sprint immediately. VAR is changing that https://t.co/XoWNnkVkwW
