Video: VAR recording of controversial Superclassico game :: Olé

“Don’t worry Yael, we’re looking after her. She’s strong.” Thus, with these words, the VAR warned Falcon Perez, the superclásico referee, about the check he carried out on a big dispute in the match: the goal against Rivera was disallowed because the ball did not go all the way into the Boca goal.

On Monday morning, the AFA released audio of the dialogue that existed between the super referee and VAR officials in a play that traveled around the world. “It’s purpose, it’s purpose, it brings it out.”– the assistant can be heard in conversation. “He scored the goal, he scored it from the inside,” replies ABAR, who leads Gaston Suarez.

To clarify any doubts and analyze the game more deeply, Jorge Baliño, in charge of VAR, requested a series of frames to clearly see what happened and whether Chiquito Romero made an attack from the inside or not. “It didn’t work for me,” Baligno said. And to determine that the ball did not completely go beyond the goal line, they used one of the cameras. “The opposite of six. This one, look. This is the common ground.”

Finally, after a few minutes, the verdict was pronounced. “Yael, there is no goal for us. The ball misses the target”– Balinho relayed to the referee, who declared the score 2:1 in favor of River void and bounced to the ground to restart the game.

The AFA published an explanation for its decision. There he points out that assistant referee Juan Pablo Belatti’s position was ideal, “but being at an angle to the goal line, he cannot have the best vision for this difficult decision.”

“The VAR team, by checking different angles and speeds and using considerations, shows in the images that the ball does not actually go all the way into the goal. and reports the incident to the referee, who, based on the specified information and the facts established by the protocol, cancels his initial decision and resumes the game with a rebound to the ground in favor of the goalkeeper in accordance with the rules of the game. To continue the story, he points out that “it is appropriate to remember what rule number 10, entitled “Scoring Goal”, prescribes: its first paragraph states that a goal will be counted when the ball has completely crossed the goal line between the goal posts and under the crossbar, and then determine that if the referee signals a goal before the ball has completely crossed the goal line, the goal will be restarted with a dropped ball.

Was the most talked about moment of the superclassico. A performance that will probably be talked about for a long time. HeyAt 8 minutes and 48 seconds of the second half, River came onto the field to celebrate the score 2:1.…After a series of rebounds, an unsuccessful touch Christian Lema and flight Chiquito RomeroJudge Yael Falcon Perez and assistant Juan Pablo Belatti They initially confirmed the target. But the celebration was postponed. We had to wait for the VAR check. And after a few minutes he changed his original decision.

From some cameras it looked like it wasn’t a goal, but from other shots the perspective seemed to indicate that the whole ball had gone into the goal… Given that Argentina does not have an automatic goal detection system, the decision was made three minutes after VAR.

Who was in VAR? Jorge Baliño was accompanied by Gaston Suarez on the AVAR, who was appointed at the last minute replacing Lucas Novelli – he suffered from a “medical illness” -.

As it turned out, the cancellation of the goal completely influenced the development and result of the match. The fact is that seven minutes later the second Boca player (Cavani) arrived. And after some time the third Merentiel…

Demichelis He walked through the Falcon Perez locker room after the score was 3-2. At the press conference he commented: “I went to the referee’s dressing room to apologize if the player went too far at the end, but he told me no. “I went to keep calm.”

In the history of football there has been a lot of controversy surrounding ghost heads… This Sunday, by the way, At the same time as “Super,” a similar play was in the Spanish classics.. Lamin Yamal canceled out Barcelona’s goal. The Spanish league explained that the Hawkeye technology used in the Champions League, Premier League or Bundesliga costs four million euros per season.

River and Boca came face to face again, just as they did on that first crossing on August 24, 1913, on the Racing field. 109 years have passed. Matches in black and white, color, tournaments, cups, amateurism, unforgettable holidays, goals, fights, disputes… In short, a lot of history. It is impossible to reduce the rivalry to the sum of victories, because not all classics had the same thing in mind. In any case, the statistics exist. How’s the story? How has it evolved over time?

Of the 262 matches in the history of the superclassic, Boca won 92, River reached 86 and drew 84 times. Clarification: in 1919 there is a score of 0:0, which is not included in history because the tournament was annulled. And this creates confusion because some stories add another tie (84).

This Sunday, April 21, See how the statistics have changed over time.
