The VAR did justice, but the criminals didn’t. Uruguay was far superior to Peru and put it against the ropes in much of the match, even scored on three occasions, but the video arbitration system annulled all of them well and from the 12 steps, luck bent in favor of those of the highlands. In the first half, De Arrascaeta opened the scoring, but for an offside of Nández in the pre-run of executing the center that ended in goal, he was canceled. In the second stage, the protagonists were Cavani and Suárez, with a difference just over 10 minutes.

The “Matador” went hand in hand with Gallese and after defining, the line gained forward position. After reviewing the image, the Uruguayan’s chest was barely disabled. Lucho’s was a little clearer, after connecting a center on the left with the knee. In the image, you can see that the slanted body was the third both nullified. At the end of the 90, it was the turn of the criminals, despite the protests of the Uruguayans for the added 7 minutes. There, who took the first shot was the barcelona crack, but the Peruvian goalkeeper guessed his shot and held him back.
