Hubert Bodhert spoke about the arbitration controversy in Equidad vs Alliance: 'It's the right thing' | Colombian football | Betplay League

Equity and Alliance opened the date 17 in Liga Betplay 2025-I, leaving the Valledupar team with a 2-0 victory, which brought them closer to the group of eight. The commitment played at the Metropolitan Ceiling Stadium, left a new arbitration controversy.

Everything happened when Alianza marked the second annotation, which was invalidated by the line judge for an apparent out of place. Given this, the central Diego Ulloa, supported it and the goal was not awarded.

The game was restarted and minutes later, the VAR reviewed the play. Ulloa received the communication, stopped the game and changed his decision, thus giving the goal for visitors.

This, without a doubt, was an error that goes against the norms established by the VAR protocol.

Hours later than what Hubert Bodhert spoke before what happened and made it clear that it seemed right.

“What I consider about what happened yesterday is that, being so many people at the head of the VAR, everyone had to make the decision safely to give the party completely restart, not restart it and then stop again,” he said in dialogue with Caracol Radio.

Subsequently, he said that: “The one that happened that (restarting and stopping it) seems to me that it is the right thing, before making a mistake and not because I won, the tool has favored me and has been against. It is better to correct there on the road and before I finished a game and harm some team.”

When questioned about whether he would think the same, if his team had been affected, the DT commented: “Regardless of having won, the important thing is to rectify and make a decision that is correct.”

“Many times they don't even look at it or check it well … I did not like the goal they canceled with Millionaires. My position is not for having won, but because it is what Bodhert concluded.
