The VAR was once again the protagonist in Colombian football. And this time, it was decisive in the semifinal match in which América de Cali defeated Junior from Barranquilla 2-1 in the Metropolitano.
The first action of the controversy of the game occurred at 40 minutes, when the central referee Andrés Rojas sanctioned a clear penalty on the American striker Adrián Ramos. His decision was correct.
Already in the complementary stage, the video refereeing team was decisive by canceling two goals to Junior from Barranquilla for out of place.

In the first action it is seen how Teófilo Gutiérrez, who is ahead, participates in the action and therefore the judge’s determination is correct.
IT IS OUT OF PLAY: Even if the ball has not touched, Teo Gutiérrez participates in the play by contesting the ball with the defender from América. Correct intervention of the VAR in this action. Keep winning 2-0 America #LigaBettingpic.twitter.com/6ElGByKy8W

And in the second, the forward position is much tighter, but it represented an offside as well.
Finally, Rojas also succeeded in not taking an involuntary hand from a defender from América as a penalty.
NO PENALTY: And I agree with Andrés Rojas. A teammate’s header that hits the American player’s arm directly. No unnatural position, no additional movement, either. Nothing at all. #LigaBetpic.twitter.com/zwgfyQxZbj

Video refereeing, then, was at the height of a semifinal of the Colombian championship.
