VAR has been praised in Spain, including by referees, who apparently are sleeping better at nights as a result! However it is still not perfect, as Huesca found out to their cost when Estrada Fernández ruled out a goal by Levante’s Boateng for offside, and then overturned the decision after reviewing the play on the video screen. The problem was that the referee apparently blew his whistle when the linesman raised his flag, and the Huesca players stopped as the striker fired the ball into the net. Coach Francisco and his players protested strongly, but the decision was made, and it cost the newly promoted side what would have been their first home win ever in the top flight. (27.11.18)
