Blue and white Linz protested: Var decision causes excitement!

In the last duel between Blau-Weiß Linz and SK Rapid Vienna it ended with a 0-0 draw, which led to mixed feelings among the players. While captain Manuel Maranda believed that the draw was justified, head coach Gerald Scheiblehner praised his team's defense performance and the general danger in the game. In the 42nd minute, however, a goal from Maranda was revoked after a Var check, which caused resentment because Simon Seidl Bendegúz Bolla disabled. Both Maranda and Scheiblehner criticized the lack of a clear line in referee decisions, but they were able to understand the final decision. According to Laola1 , Blau-Weiß Linz remains in the remaining four games Five.

In the context of the current Bundesliga season, Rapid Vienna recently showed an impressive performance when she defeated GAK 3-0, so that they were able to secure fifth place in the table. Nenad Cvetkovic opened the scorer account after a corner kick by captain Matthias Seidl in the 23rd minute, followed by two other goals by Dion Beljo and Isak Jansson. Rapid had previously had to catch up against Blau-Weiß Linz, who had won against Hartberg. Despite a catastrophic spring start with four defeats in the first five games, Rapid has only six points behind the top of the table, such as The press reported.

The influence of the Var on the decisions

The discussion about the referee decisions is also reinforced by the role of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in the Bundesliga. The VAR is intended to support the referees in important decisions to improve justice in the game. He may only intervene in four specific cases, including the review of gates and the allocation of penalty decisions. According to bundesliga.com , referees have the opportunity to change their decisions after consultation with the VAR.

For Blau-Weiß Linz, the challenge remains to show a positive development after the previous lost duels in the master group against other opponents. Scheiblehner emphasized his team's will to be successful in the master group and to become fifth, while Maranda is confident that they can beat every opponent when they bring all their energy to the field.
