Due to the “disastrous performance” of the teams that supply video referee technology (VAR), the Professional Football League of Ecuador, through the National Refereeing Commission (CNA) of the Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF), will ask the Hawkeye company a detailed report of what happened during the Clásico del Astillero that Barcelona SC and CS Emelec played on Saturday at the Monumental stadium.
Both the president of the Professional League, Miguel Ángel Loor, and the same entity, in social networks, demarcated responsibility regarding the malfunction of the system that was hired to give technological support to the arbitration team that the referee Luis Quiroz commanded within the field of play .
The completion of the first half of 2 minutes of addition decreed was extended to 10, this due to the fact that the judge of the duel had a delay in reviewing a play between Alexis Zapata, from Emelec, and Mario Pineida, from Barcelona SC. The VAR was faulty and the images could not be seen. That problem, which remained unsolved in the first half, was solved in the second, at minute 70.
‘No signal’ was the message that was read on the monitor located at the edge of the court, while the referee Quiroz waited for the sequence of images of the action that Pineida and Zapata carried out at the end of the first half and that showed on television GolTV.
Image that will remain in the records of the most surreal events in Ecuadorian football. Unusual and with many doubts. What actually happened needs to be clearly specified. pic.twitter.com/2BmP4glYyC

Even without the award of a contract from the Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) for the video refereeing service (VAR) during the entire competition of the tournament run by the Professional League, for this specific case, the dispute of the Shipyard Classic, was Barcelona SC which assumed the costs of hiring the service, as the Canarian club board requested the use of this technology on the occasion of that match.
