[엑스포츠뉴스 김정현 인턴기자] Edinson Cavani did not receive a card, avoiding the referee’s eyes, despite his aggressive actions.

Kabani started the match between Everton and Manchester United in the 2020/21 season Carabao Cup quarterfinals held at Goodison Park on the 24th (Korean time).

In the 50th minute, Kabani collided with opposing defender Yeri Mina near the half line. A scene where Kabani fell while grabbing Mina’s neck with her hand was captured.

The referee confirmed this, paused the game, intervened the two players, and continued the game as it is.

Because of this, fans pointed out that if Kabani received VAR readings, he would be sent out unconditionally. The VAR system was not applied in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals.
