Explanation of VAR situations from the 26th Cyta Championship match day.
APOLLON – ETHNIKOS minute 57th
REFEREE'S INITIAL DECISION: GOAL ALLOWED
VAR: RECOMMENDED AN OFR
REFEREE’S DECISION AFTER OFR: INDIRECT FREE KICK - OFFSIDE
EXPLANATION: VERY GOOD ASSESSMENT BY THE VAR. AN ATTACKER IS VERY CLOSE TO THE OPPONENT GOALKEEPER IN HIS GOAL AREA, MAKING AN OBVIOUS ACTION WHICH CLEARLY IMPACT ON THE ABILITY OF THE GOALKEEPER TO PLAY THE BALL AND IN A WAY HE IS OBSTRUCTING HIS LINE OF VISION AT THE MOMENT OF THE KICK ON GOAL. CORRECTLY RECOMMENDED AN OFR AND CORRECTLY DISALLOWED THE GOAL FOR AN OFFISIDE OFFENCE.
