Jvfr. parallel diskussion i Juve-tråden, skal det tilføjes, at VAR også må benyttes i build up til et straffe, hvilket hverken pressen eller (åbenbart) Wikipedia har inkluderet. I praksis betyder det, at et tilkendt straffe godt kan annulleres, hvis VAR påviser, at der er sket en strafbar handling af det angribende hold i opspillet til straffet, inkl. en offisde.
Her er IFAB´s regel desangående:
For goals, penalty incidents and some red cards (e.g. denial of obvious goal-scoring opportunity), the referee can review the play as far back as the start of the attacking move which led to the incident and, if relevant, how possession of the ball was gained at the start of that phase of play. The Laws of the Game do not allow restart decisions (corner kicks, throw-ins etc.) to be changed once play has restarted, so they can not be reviewed.
Der burde derfor retteligt stå følgende på Wikipedia:
- Goals and whether there was a violation during the build up
- Penalty decisions and whether there was a violation during the build up
- Red card decisions (note that second yellow cards are not reviewable)
- Mistaken identity in awarding a red or yellow card
