Jakarta –
Manchester United beat Brighton & Hove Albion through a VAR drama that resulted in a penalty, despite the match being declared over. It may be so?
The Brighton vs MU match at Amex Stadium, Brighton in the third week of the 2020/2021 Premier League, on Saturday (9/26/2020) was exciting. The two teams exchanged goals until the last minute.
Beginning by conceding a Brighton penalty taken by Neal Maupay in the 40th minute, the Red Devils were able to retaliate by killing Lewis Dunk three minutes later. In the second half, Marcus Rashford was able to turn things around and put MU 2-1 ahead of Brighton in the 55th minute.
The match was tight in the second half, until finally Solly March was able to equalize the score in the 95th minute. David De Gea’s header crashed into the net and changed the position to 2-2.
After that goal, MU nearly took the lead thanks to a header from Harry Maguire in the 90 + 7 minute. However, the header was cleared, then the referee blew a long whistle, Chris Kavanagh. The match broke up and the Brighton players celebrated their success by stealing points against United.
At the same time, the MU players protested to the referee. They felt Maguire’s head butt in the last few minutes, he had hit Maupay’s hand. The referee then canceled the long whistle and checked the VAR.
In the end, MU got a penalty after the referee considered Maupay to make a ball. Bruno Fernandes then advanced to be the enforcer, and could lead MU to a 3-2 win.
The debate took place on social media, because MU received a penalty when the game ended. The question is, can the VAR cancel the match that has ended and continue the match according to the last event?
The answer is yes. The moment of Maupay’s hand occurred before the referee blew the long whistle. This means that the infractions that are created are still in the game and the VAR can or has the right to review them because there is no time limit.
After being reviewed, the referee has the right to continue the match in accordance with applicable competition laws. With that situation, MU may receive a penalty if he continues the match again.
“The review process must be completed as efficiently as possible, but the accuracy of the final decision is still more important than speed. For this reason, and because some situations are complex with multiple decisions / incidents that can be reviewed, there is no maximum time limit for the review process, “wrote the IFAB statement.
“The referee can then take / change / cancel any disciplinary action (if appropriate) and restart the game in accordance with the Gambling Law,” explained the IFAB statement.
