In South America is generating a lot of controversy with the use of the VAR . Since the Copa América of Brazil Conmebol has been branded as favoring the Amazon country . However, this conception seems to be being reinforced in the Copa Libertadores , after rude errors that favored Fluminense and Atlético Mineiro.
In soccer in the south of the American continent outrage over arbitration decisions is the order of the day . A very clear case occurred in the match between Cerro Porteño and Fluminense . The VAR sentenced a non-existent advanced position in the Paraguayan team and annulled the goal . The audios expose the seriousness of the terrible mistake.
Under these circumstances, the Paraguayan club released an official statement in which they rejected the “shameful” events that were developed in the match and, at the same time, demanded the relevant punishment from the referees and that the game be repeated.
In the case of the Argentine team, the referees also damaged their game against Atlético Mineiro . The main judge went to review the play and decreed an offensive displacement, which ended up canceling the goal of the team “Xeneize” . Once again, the audios finished exposing their errors.
Errors in favor of Brazilian clubs, coincidence?
A new trend is being generated in South American football. Since the Copa América , fans and people linked to the sport have denounced that the Conmebol tends to favor “Canarinha” . After the cup, the problem seems to get worse. The two grossest mistakes have been in favor of clubs in the Amazon country, facts that have clearly increased indignation on the continent and have continued to support this theory.
