Barcelona drew 1-1 with Vallecano. According to World Sports, a VAR failure in this game caused controversy and failed to review Yamal's penalty kick.
Before the start of this game, the VAR device malfunctioned and the image screen could not be transmitted normally. The game kickoff was postponed for five minutes, and the referee informed the coaches of the two teams of the situation, and the failure lasted until the 12th minute of the game.
Fortunately, there was no situation in the 12 minutes before the game and the fault was eliminated. However, the VAR equipment broke down again in the 28th minute of the game. The referee informed the captains of the two teams about the situation, and the fourth official also notified the bench at the same time. During this period, controversy arose. Yamal fell to the ground in the penalty area and received a penalty kick. The referee was unable to view the VAR triggered protests between Vallecano players and the head coach. The penalty kick was established without review. Shiti said that the penalty kick was not a clear and obvious misjudgment, and it did not fall into the scope of VAR's intervention as usual. The monitor has not recovered during the break, but it was fixed at the start of the second half. It is worth mentioning that the WiFi signal failure in the news stands of the Vallecas Stadium was a chronic disease that the media circle has known for many years.
In view of the significant impact of the incident, the Technical Arbitration Committee of the Spanish Football Association will require the Mediapro Group, which is responsible for VAR broadcasting, to submit formal instructions on technical failures.
