VAR under fire as Scotland exit after penalty retake

PARIS - Argentina pulled off an unprecedented women’s World Cup fightback from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 with Scotland on Wednesday, but it will be the video assistant referee’s decision to award a stoppage-time penalty retake that will remain in memory.

The VAR, however, judged the keeper was off her line and the kick was retaken, with Bonsegundo scoring at the second time of asking to send Scotland home and keep her side’s faint hopes of reaching the last 16 alive. “I said at the start of the tournament that if VAR helps come to the right decisions I’m in favor of it, but tonight we feel hard done by,” Scotland coach Shelley Kerr told reporters, declining to talk specifically about the decision to retake the penalty.

The rule was perhaps clearer when Jamaica goalkeeper Sydney Schneider was penalized after she had jumped way off her line to save Italy’s Cristiana Girelli’s penalty.When asked about the incident, Argentina coach Carlos Borrello was diplomatic in his response.
