Just over five minutes, a millimetric drawing of lines and a contained celebration. The goal with which Ramon Wanchope Ábila embittered River and made Colón celebrate in Santa Fe, for the third appointment of the Professional League, he had it all.
The truth is that 25 minutes into the second half after the big shot of Santiago Pierotti for Facundo Fariasthe youthful jewel of Sabalero put a attendance at billiards for Ábila, who walked between the defenders of the River e betrayed Franco Armanito define the empty arc.
The former Boca Juniors striker is dated a shy partybecause he sensed he could be in an advanced position: in fact, the linesman Facundo Rodriguez raised the flag and canceled the game.
But referee Patricio Loustau prevented Armani from quickly making up the game, because he needed the VAR – like all plays that are in the protocol – to confirm or rectify the assistant’s decision on the line.
The game was so good that Ettore Paletta Y Luca NovelliVideo support managers located in the VOR room at the AFA headquarters in Ezeiza were needed more than five minutes to give Loustau the security of the decision.
In fact, in the middle, the coach of River, Marcello Gallardomade two changes to his equipment.
The truth is Duck he raised the whistle to his mouth and pointed to the center of the courtyard, so that Wanchope, belatedly, could celebrate a more than special goalwhich allowed Colón to obtain his first victory, after two consecutive draws.
“I don’t suffer anymore, those who suffer are the spectators. I concentrate on finishing the game. One has been canceled and luckily not the second, so we have to continue as usual. Today the VAR gave him some justice, people are looking forward to the time it takes “explained Ábila, the star of the Santa Fe night.
“No, it doesn’t affect me, on the contrary, it’s better for me, because the more minutes pass, the more chance there is of scoring a goal.”he reflected correctly, because just before they had erased another, always with lines of a few millimeters.
It had been 20 seconds since the start of the second half when Ábila scored between González Pirez and Héctor David Martínez, and defined with the inside of the right shoe against Armani. As in the second action, the linesman immediately raised the flag and forced the revision of the VAR.

In this case they were about three minutes of uncertaintyuntil the drawn lines seen in the broadcast established that Wanchope’s right knee and shoulder were just ahead of the millionaire’s last man.
A clarification: the VAR uses the same cameras as the official match television (in this case via the TNT Sport signal), with the difference that the lines are drawn, which is carried out approximately two hours before the start of each of the professional league matches .
