Week 43, call 4 of 5
Feyenoord lead 3-2 at Telstar. The referee judges that the ball hit a Telstar defender's hand and points to the spot. The VAR checks for several minutes, but no replay shows whether it did.
- No penalty: unproven handball means benefit of the doubt for the defender
- Referee to the screen: he must see the replay himself before deciding
- Penalty stands: unclear footage cannot overturn the referee's call Right call
- No penalty, dropped ball: nobody can tell what happened
Not enough answers yet to show what players picked
Under the VAR protocol, the referee's original decision is only changed when the replays show a clear and obvious error. Replays that prove nothing either way cannot do that, so the penalty stands and no screen review is needed.
