The VAR makes its debut at the Concachampions

As a result of the violence with which Olimpia played the round of 16 match at the Azteca Stadium, America started a kind of war against the Concachampions. And it is that, due to a criminal kick by Yustin Arboleda, Antonio López suffered a Weber type C ankle fracture and the deltoid ligament was injured.

This Tuesday a new instance will begin in the continental competition and, fulfilling the expectations of the directive of the azulcrema team, the Concacaf authorities will provide a new tool to the field referees so that they don't have to go through any situation similar to the aforementioned .

"Tonight's quarter-final first leg between Atlanta United and Philadelphia Union will be the first in an official Concacaf competition that will include VAR. Subsequently, it will be used for all quarter-final, semi-final and final matches of the SCCL 2021", reported the Confederation.

Drew Fischer, from Canada, will be the judge in charge of video arbitration in the aforementioned duel. Who will have that responsibility in the duels of Mexican teams? Allen Chapmna, from the United States, in Cruz Azul's game against Toronto FC, Canadian David Gantar in América's game against Portland Timbers, and Chris Penso, from USA, in Monterrey's game against Columbus Crew.

The VAR will also be in the Concacaf Nations League

Through the same announcement, it was announced that the technology will also be available to face Final 4 of the League of Nations. In that international tournament, Gerardo Martino's Mexico National Team will seek the title against their peers from Costa Rica, Honduras and the United States.
