Video assistance has been a debatable point in the footballing world and when it came to be used in the Confederations Cup, it became a big news. It proved to be handy in many previous games but in the final, the VAR failed to judge a simple decision in the second half. 20 minutes after the break, Javi Lara elbowed Timo Werner right in the chin but the referee could not spot that.
The video officials halted the play and took a close second look to find out that Lara had intentionally hit the Leipzig man. It was a clear red card offence but shockingly, the referee gave it just a yellow card to make the video referral completely pointless. Though more than the technology, it was the referee who was at fault here as he let the events around him get the better of him.
This incident gave light on the fact that despite technology hoping to improve the game, human error will always be a part that will remain.
