Yerry Mina and Edinson Cavani were the protagonists of an incident in the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup, which qualified Manchester Untied to the semi-final after beating Everton 2-0.
According to several analysts, the action deserved a red card for the Uruguayan, who grabbed the Colombian by the neck and threw him to the ground, after an action in the game in which both hit each other.
Referee Andy Madley did not take any action on that incident and although many asked why it was not reviewed in the VAR, the reality is that the tool is not used in the Carabao Cup but since the semi-finals.
Cavani would have seen red with VAR.

United manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer was asked if he did not think Cavani should have been sent off and he, very angry, replied: “No, they are two South Americans who have had battles before, not long ago. I think they met in the qualifying rounds for the Copa América. So no, I don’t think so. It was a good football game, tackles, yellow cards. I really liked it, “he said.
You mean it was a vendetta? It is worth remembering that Mina and Cavani met in Barranquilla, last November, in a match for the defender to forget, in which he precisely made the mistake of the first of the three goals with which Uruguay beat Colombia.
On the court, Mina reduced Cavani for at least 87 minutes, until they sent the Uruguayan to the opposite band after seeing him lose the duel with the Cavan. Then he escaped from Godfrey’s mark and made it 1-0 and then Martial sentenced in addition to 2-0. But the duel between the two was winning the Colombian.
Everton coach Carlo Ancelotti said he had not witnessed the incident and it was not a big topic of conversation in the Toffees locker room after the game. “There is no VAR for this game and the referee decided that Cavani did nothing wrong. So we have to accept it, period,” he opined.
