In its analysis, the VAR concluded that “the hand does not occupy a greater space in natural protective movement. The referee observes and allows the game to continue.”
“For me it hits the body,” Loustau says first.
The VAR and AVAR review the play from different angles. Finally, the VAR says: “The ball goes to the body, the player makes a move … he can play.”
