Argentina are in big trouble now, only 1 point after 2 games and their final game against Qatar won’t be easy. They can actually get knocked out in the groupstage
Keeper attempts to take out Ecuador player half way up the pitch, doesn't make contact with the player or the ball. Here is the kicker, the Ecuador player has to avoid the keeper or he is just going to get clattered full pelt by him. If not it is a certain goal for me, he has to hit the ball 30 yards but basically as a pass into an open goal. Referee gets the VAR out because he has completely missed whats gone on and given the keeper a yellow. For me it is a red, clear goal scoring opportunity.
I don't think it was a clear and obvious error to not give a red card. However, it seems since the decision from the ref was a goal kick and the correct decison was at least yellow card, the VAR got involved. But IMO he shouldn't have.
