So CAF president was there, nothing changed. Referee went to the VAR screen (finally!) for 10 seconds, went back to the pitch.....and nothing happened

@thepharoah Dutch commentator says "They're going to look whether or not VAR can be used relatively soon, if not, this match will be replayed"

 

Anything similar on Egyptian TV?

Odd. I find it hard to imagine Dutch TV would know more than BEIN Sports about this, but I find it even harder to imagine a commentator would just make that up

I think it's fair enough to replay the game , ofc if the 2 teams weren't aware of this incident

But how would replaying the entire game be fair? What's wrong with restarting (now or at another date) from the 63rd minute with a 1-1 score? Replaying the whole thing seems rather unfair to Esperance, not counting the goal is unfair to Wydad.

well this wouldn't be fair enough either , as long as some decisions were controversial before the goal and they weren't looked at the VAR also

Oh I missed that, I just tuned in when I saw the match was interrupted

i turned off the channel , this's just bullshit , yes it happened even in UCL and Europa league this season , but ofc the final match must be a different story , CAF is much responsible for this accident , well this's the 2nd big final match that will be replayed at least per predictions till now after Copa Libertadores final last year
