Media discover VAR operations in open day with the referees
On the pitch, two teams go head-to-head. There are decisive actions. A tackle made in the area by the goalkeeper makes the public react to the edge of the field. The striker on the ground looks up to demand a penalty. The referee touches his headset, he seems to be listening to his assistants' advice. After a few moments, he walks over to the screen installed on the touchline.
A video clip is shown but he asks for more âShow me another angle,â he says. He looks at the footage one last time before heading back onto the pitch and indicating there is no fault. The game is restarted. This is VAR!
