Until now, we were used to being examined through it VAR disputed phases, involving hard marking, disallowed goals or dismissals and correcting wrong decisions of the referees.
Now, at MLS the use of technology went to the… next track, as after the intervention of the VAR there was a dismissal of a football player with a red card, due to… spitting!
Let’s take them in order, though. OR Houston Dynamo defeated in the MLS playoffs by the Seattle Sounders with 7-6 on penaltieshowever the encounter was “marked” by Hector Herrera…
Specifically, in the 65th minute of the match, o Armando Villarreal he charged a foul against the Mexican midfielder and at the same time showed him the yellow card.
An event that caused the reaction of Herrera, who then spat in irritation to the referee’s feetwhich he had with his back turned at that particular moment.
However, the said move of the 34-year-old central midfielder it didn’t slip off the… radar of VAR, as a result of which Villarreal went to an onfield review to check the situation and eventually sent him off with a straight red card!
