Speaking after the match, Wright argued that match officials failed to apply the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system consistently. He pointed out that Egypt had earlier seen one of their goals disallowed after a VAR review, making it difficult to understand why a similar review was not conducted before Argentina’s late winner was allowed to stand.
According to Wright, Salah appeared to have been brought down before Argentina launched the move that eventually produced the winning goal. Although some observers may consider the contact to be minor, Wright maintained that it was enough to justify a review by VAR. He stressed that if officials were willing to go back and examine one attacking phase to overturn a goal, they should have shown the same level of scrutiny in the incident involving Salah.ReAd See Full News; Read 0riginal
