CAF Champions League: VAR’s Absence Explained

Hawk-Eye, a company contracted by CAF, has offered to explain the farce marring yesterday’s Africa Champions League final.

Wydad had a goal nullified by Gambia’s arbiter Papa Gassama in what was an-all North African derby as Tunisia’s Esperance ended up retaining the title after the visitors walked off in protest.

Wydad insisted on the use of the VAR as a reference point which Gassama shunned as the football world watched on stupefied.

However, a company responsible for the VAR has offered to explain the West African referee’s “refusal” of the telly, saying there was not even a functioning Video Assistant Referee.

CAF is scheduled to meet over the bedlam which left Africa’s most prestigious club competition final in shambles with a swift verdict expected next week.

Below is the full text of Hawks-Eye’s explanation of the VAR farce.
