The incident involving goalkeeper Andre Onana and Zeki Amdouni during a game was initially missed by referee John Brooks. The situation was likened to a previous incident at Old Trafford, and it was acknowledged that a VAR intervention should have been made. The VAR recognized the error in not awarding a penalty kick and recommended that the referee review the incident on the screen.
It was ultimately determined that a penalty kick should have been awarded, and it was seen as a correct and efficient use of VAR. However, there was also a recognition that Onana should have been shown a yellow card for his reckless action. It was stated that while it did not amount to serious foul play, there was an element of recklessness that warranted a caution.
