After all the controversy generated by América’s first goal scored by Kevin Alvarez, where most football analysis programs have considered it illegal, the video review system of the Mexican Football Federation (VAR), stripped the annotation of controversy by considering it legal in the audios.
In said testimonial evidence by the Referees Commission it is clarified that said annotation was declared correctly as there are no regulatory or criterion impediments that could be judged as interference by Henry Martín in Kevin Álvarez’s shot on Luis Cárdenas’ frame.
In the auditory exhibition, what was said when reviewing said action is detailed, which has been analyzed ad nauseam in the last 24 hours by countless sports programs and of football controversy considering that Henry Martín did obstruct the Rayados goalkeeper.
In this sense, one of the assistant referees is heard: “Henry Martín, but he interferes, he steps aside, the goalkeeper sees the ball all the time. For me it is the right goal”, so he immediately ran to the center of the field to validate the score.
For its part, the VAR detailed that: “I have everything clean, I heard you. I don’t have offside there, Right, we continue, I have a possible hand from the attacker that we don’t forget… but I never have a hand, and in case it would be involuntary, but it never hits him.”
In turn, the AVAR specified that: “Now the shot and what it describes about the possible interference,” VAR continues: “At the time of the shot he is completely to one side, he has no chance of the striker hindering him, we continue.”
“I have a correct goal, even the player is removed, I have no interference. Victor, you listen to me. Check Complete, correct goal by player number 5, the player never interferes and there is no hand from any forward on the rebounds,” the VAR people ruled.
These audios dismiss the claims of the Spanish Sergio Canales that at the end of the game he wanted to eat the referees when trying to get into their locker room at the Cuauhtémoc stadium, to claim the illegality of this play, causing a violation of the regulations, but which will obviously be overlooked in the Disciplinary Commission’s report.
