There are a lot of stars in modern football and VAR is rapidly becoming one of them<\/a>. Since it’s inception, it has intervened in countless matches in order to reach the correct outcome. Here is our list of the most controversial VAR decisions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most Controversial VAR Moments In History<\/h2>\n

1. Giant Green Flag<\/h3>\n

Boavista Vs Desportivo das Aves \u2013 February 2018<\/h4>\n

This Primera Liga tie found itself marred by light-hearted controversy following an absurd VAR incident.<\/p>\n

Aves appeared to have made it 3-0 with a 70th-minute set-piece goal.<\/p>\n

Goal-scorer Victor Gomes was in a clear offside position. VAR, however, could not conclusively rule out his goal, thanks to a Boavista fan\u2019s giant flag covering the camera.<\/p>\n

Due to a lack of concrete evidence, the on-pitch decision stood, and the goal was awarded.<\/p>\n

The boisterous Boavista fan went on to watch his side lose 3-0. Aves went on to escape relegation that season, with this result proving handy.<\/p>\n
