San Lorenzo penalty overturned by VAR in derby against Huracán | OneFootball

Nervo had brought down Reali in the area. However, the action was invalidated by the VAR due to a previous offside. Watch.

The hearts of Huracán fans stopped at six minutes into the second half. Just as the second half began, Reali sped into the area and was clearly brought down by Nervo. However, when San Lorenzo was preparing to take the penalty kick, the decision ended up being annulled by the VAR.

Why? It turns out that at the start of the play that ended in the penalty, Cerutti headed the ball in midfield while in an offside position. To be precise, his left ankle was ahead of Ibáñez, so the referee was called by the VAR, and finally, he announced the annulment of the penalty.

There was no need for Ramírez to check the play on the monitor since it was a factual play, so once Paletta verified that Cerutti was indeed offside, he informed the referee to retract his decision.
