It will be a never-ending controversy. Fernando Rapallini, the Talleres – Defensa judge, saw the simulation of a foul made by Braian Fernández in the proximity of Juan Gabriel Rodríguez as a penalty and, after consulting the VAR, the sanction was firm and thus the game went to 1-1 which has not been changed. What did they tell the judge, after he explained the reason for the sanction?
According to the testimonies that he was able to collect World D, from the video arbitration (Diego Abal and Javier Uziga -AVAR, assistant- were there) they told him that there were cameras that indicated a penalty and others that did not. Given the division of opinions, the main referee maintained his initial determination. On the field of play, Rappallini spoke with Michael Santos, before resuming the second half, but the striker was not very convinced.
“He crosses it and doesn’t touch the ball. It was a penalty, it was a penalty…”
What could be read on the lips of Fernando Rapallini who, speaking with Michael Santos, mentioned VAR and said “we saw the same thing” ⚽️???? pic.twitter.com/qhtESMqatI

Apart from having to put up with Niembro in the comments, the rapallini referee charges anything
To all this, the VAR is a disaster and does not correct Rapallini’s tremendous mistake
Haaaaa forehead
TRUE

With Gandolfi
At the end of the game, the judge spoke with Javier Gandolfi about the play. Did the DT of Workshops believe him? He maintained his position of not talking about the judges, but indicated that the VAR must be used well.
“It is seen that he does not touch it. The referee charges something in a thousandth of a second and, from above, they tell him that it is correct. The issue is the VAR: that it be used”.
Although he prefers not to talk about arbitration, Javier Gandolfi gave his opinion on yesterday’s penalty and the (mis)use of technology ⚽️???? pic.twitter.com/pGhmFjZnTJ
