Video/ FAR, saves Albanian referees' face: 6 decision changes in only three matches

The contracting of referees has been the favorite part of the sympathies in Albanian football, but after implementing VAR things have become very dim, so not to say they are extinct and left behind a worrying problem: referee mistakes in the first two weeks are shocking.

In the first three matches of the second week alone, six decisions by technology to help the referee have been corrected. And we're talking here about penaltys, goals or red cards.

Video Protagonism of Assistt Referee appeared in the first week, but we were still in the emotions of something new, and little attention was given to the often grave error of referees. In the second week of the Royale, which has yet to be completed with two today's Bajramaj and Ferataj matches should thank the VAR system if they don't mess up their matches.

In the headline played in Loro Borici, between Vlastia and Teuta, Bajramaj punished Todorovski with yellow card at the end of the first part before VAR called him to give him the red. The cabinet and assistant continued with their carelessness by awarding penalty for the schoolgirls 4 minutes after the relaunch, but VAR identified an out-of-the-game position of Latifi. And finally there was a goal of Coba, which might not have been in a dead end if it hadn't been VAR.

In Friday's opening match, between Dinamo and Lachi, it didn't go any better with referee Ferataj who made a bad mistake in two moments, crucial to the match. In the 60th minute, Haxhiu collapsed within the area following Veliya's intervention and demanded penalty. Referee continued the game, but the VAR intervened after two minutes suggesting penalty, though strangely Dinamos the referee denied it. In the end, in the 990th minute Roganovic equated the outcome for the Kurbinians with the key he deemed Prenga was caught by the goalkeeper Hairzaj. After vetting in the VAR, Ferataj named it a fair goal.

He spent a quieter Lata afternoon, although he was deceived by the fall of the Cara, two steps behind the contact. Referee considered the simulation and initially did not sign from the white dot. But then he was called to see repeated images on the monitor, and after consulting with experts in the VAR Hall, he changed his decision.
