Video: VAR interference results in harsh penalty as Madrid go 2-0 up

By Lubo98 2 November, 2022 1 Comment

Celtic have fallen further behind at the Santiago Bernabeu as Rodrygo made it 2-0 to Real Madrid. VAR interfered after Matt O’Riley blocked a blistering strike from Vinicius Jnr, the game played on before the Italian officials in the VAR room instructed Stephanie Frappart to check the monitor by the side of the pitch.

The French referee inspected and could see the ball connecting with O’Riley’s arm and accordingly pointed to the spot. Given the speed of the incident, it is incredibly harsh that O’Riley was penalized. To compound matters, O’Riley received a yellow card for his troubles.

Goal de Rodrygo ! 🤍
