VAR and a lot of suspense: ‘Wanchope’ Ábila scored the 1-0 of Colón vs. River Plate | VIDEO

River Plate and Colón starred in an intense match this Wednesday, with some goal situations, but without any team being able to breach the rival fence. That, until Ramón Ábila appeared, who was in charge of signing the 1-0 in favor of ‘Sabalero’, after up to six minutes of uncertainty.

At minute 72, at the Brigadier General Estanislao Stadium, also known as the Cemetery of the Elephants, ‘Wanchope’ did not forgive in the area and defined, after beating Franco Armani. Of course, at first, the annotation was not validated, due to an alleged offside.

The head judge invalidated the play, after seeing his assistant with the flag up. The game was paralyzed and there was a lot of uncertainty. Finally, after a long wait, it was determined that Ábila, assisted by his partner, Facundo Farías, was in a lawful position.

Colón’s goal meant a hard blow for the team led by Marcelo Gallardo. Forced to react, the ‘Millionaire’ looked for a tie, through the interventions of his scorer Julián Álvarez, but he was unsuccessful.

In the end, the ‘Sabalero’ kept the house respected and kept the victory: he reached five points and climbed to fourth place in the Argentine league. For its part, River Plate added its third game without winning and is twenty-fifth, with just two units.
