Among other words and quickly summarizing, Conmebol assures that there was a “100% correctness in the final decision.” Yes, just like you read. Despite criticism from the players themselves – who are the protagonists – on several occasions, the parent entity even gave examples of their position.
“According to the record prepared by the Conmebol Referees Commission, in total 6 field reviews were carried out: 1 factual review (where the referee does not need to go to check the monitor). Which yielded a satisfactory result of 100% of effectiveness in the final decision, “he said in a statement.
“The VAR, an essential tool to guarantee sports justice on the playing field, has been used successfully during the last edition of the oldest national team tournament in the world,” adds the parent body of South American football.
