One of audio recordings released by the FPF Arbitration Council V SportTVThis Sunday, a dialogue took place between referee Joao Pinheiro and VAR regarding the game between David Carmo and Rafa at the Benfica – Porto stadium in the 7th round of the Betclic League. At the time, the Reds asked for the centre-back to be given a straight red as they believed the striker was going to isolate himself, but the decision ended with a yellow for the Porto centre-back.
VAR: The speed with which Rafa goes makes me doubtful and more confident that he will arrive before the ball and go alone. I am more confident that Rafa has overcome this obstacle and will arrive first. He keeps the ball square.
Judge: So if you have any doubts… For me it’s far from true. Okay, for me it’s yellow, thanks. The player is very lateralized.
