Situație bizară la Dinamo - Craiova: Istvan Kovacs a decis un ofsaid la monitor după ce sistemul VAR nu a putut trasa liniile
The Romanian Football Federation clarified the unusual procedure for validating Dinamo's third goal in their 5-1 victory over Universitatea Craiova, due to VAR calibration issues. Referee Istvan Kovacs reviewed the play at the monitor after the assistant referee flagged an offside. The review took about three minutes, and Kovacs determined that a defender kept the attacker onside, thus validating the goal. This situation raised questions as offside decisions are typically made in the VAR room without the referee's intervention. The FRF stated that the review was necessary and emphasized the ongoing testing of the VAR system in Romania, aiming for accuracy over speed. Improvements in internet connections and operator training are also planned.
