America from Cali won this Sunday by 1-0 to Deportivo Pereira, in game valid for date 11 of the Betplay League, which took place at the stadium Pascual Guerrero from the Capital of Valle del Cauca and was full of suspense due to the VAR issue.
Without a doubt, technological aid was the protagonist, beyond the great performance of men like Yesus Cabrera or Joel Graterol himself, who saved a penalty that could have meant the visitor’s draw.
And it is that the VAR intervened in 3 moments match key: first, he annulled a goal for America by hand of Rafael Carrascal, second, it again invalidated an action that ended up in the back of the net considering that there was a millimeter misplaced Adair Rodríguez and finally, gave Pereira a penalty.
Second goal action CANCELED for América in their match against Pereira, both VAR interventions have been correct. In the first by hand, in the second by offside. Millimeter and all but the rule remains the same, no changes were announced in the “offside” item. pic.twitter.com/fmLOHYVwf7

All three actions could be considered correct, although the penalty that Graterol saved is somewhat doubtful because although there was contact, the Pereiran attacker exaggerates the movement, but fortunately for the ‘Scarlet’ interests it did not end in the background.
With this result the América de Cali adds 15 points and is still out of the 8, with his mind set on his next game against Deportivo Cali. For his part, Pereira stayed withn 6 points in box 17 and will be a rival of Boyacá Chicó in the coming day.
