VAR Offside Call Nullifies Early Atlético Tucumán Header Versus River in Round 9

Broadcast graphics showing Milton Casco in line with the scorer raised fresh questions about the system's clarity.

Overview

  • Leandro Díaz headed in from a corner within the opening minutes before the play was reviewed.
  • The assistant kept the flag down as referee Facundo Tello stopped play for a VAR check led by José Carreras.
  • After the review, Tello ruled Díaz offside and the goal did not stand, leaving the score unchanged at that moment.
  • Television lines suggested Casco might have been level with Díaz, which fueled doubts among viewers about the offside assessment.
  • Reports note it is Díaz’s third goal overturned by VAR in this championship, part of a wider run of annulled Atlético Tucumán goals this season.
