On Tuesday, the biggest sensation so far was recorded in the world football championship.
One of the tournament favorites, the Argentine footballers, unexpectedly lost to the Saudi Arabian team with a score of 1:2.
Indeed, the Argentine national team sent the ball into the goal four times in just the first half, but even three goals were disallowed after VAR reviews.
The goal scored by Lautaro Martinez caused the most discussions, as it was disallowed due to a very minimal offside.
However, after the match, photos started to spread on social media that possibly show a serious VAR mistake.
In a frozen frame, it can be seen that the offside was determined based on the position of the right-back, even though the player on the left was slightly closer to his own goal. It was this player that L. Martinez could have avoided the offside.
π¨ FIFA and VAR allegedly made a huge mistake on Lautaro Martinez's goal by not taking into account the position of the Saudi left-back. π«π
