The match between Borussia Dortmund and Copenhagen was intervened by SAOT.
For the first time, semi-automatic offside technology (SAOT) had an action in a game. In other meetings, where the system was present to perform its first function, it had gone unnoticed, not having been required to use it. In the match on Tuesday between Borussia Dortmund and FC Copenhagen for the first date of the group stage of Group G of the Champions League, technology appeared. When the Danish team had scored the discount in the 1-3 away defeat, SAOT analyzed the game and canceled it after confirming the offside.
SAOT came to football later FIFA implemented it in the meeting of the European Super Cup Final played by Real Madrid and Eintrach Frankfurt on 10 August, which was a win for the Meringue from 2-0. On that occasion, the system put in place to reduce the number of offside referee decisions was not used, as the actions of the match did not require it. Almost two months later, the system began to be implemented in the new edition of the Champions League which started this Tuesday and was supposed to be used at 89 minutes of play.
Rasmus Falck had converted 1-3 at the end of the match at the stadium Signal Iduna Park and it was all a party for the white team. But a few minutes after the conversion, the The VAR has put the game in the magnifying glass and decided to cancel the game for granted, because the forward Cornelius, who participated in the game, was advanced from the left knee, according to the pictures three-dimensional obtainable with the operation of 10 cameras which are distributed in the stadium overlooking the playing field take the signal of 29 points in the players and also one on the ball.
Resolution was quick between the referees who were analyzing the images and those on the pitch. 25 seconds to make decisions, he acted very quickly and efficiently to affirm that the player was in an advanced position.
In the Qatar World Cup 2022the technology to determine even the offside he’ll be there. In the World Cup match played Russia 2018, the implementation of the VAR at matches was a big news. Now, with the evidence that SAOT’s work is bearing its first fruits, it will be up to him to dispense justice in the match that will take place in Qatar from November 20 to December 18 to try to obtain a greater number of net playing times for which he is custom in this new era.
