The goal of the Portuguese national team at the gate of Mexico at the Confederations Cup-2017 was canceled after viewing the video replay.
At the 21st minute of the score, 0: 0 Pepe sent the ball into the opponent's net after hitting Andre Gomes.
The Portuguese have already begun to celebrate the goal, but the main arbiter of the match Nestor Pitana asked his assistant to watch the replay. It turned out that before this Pepe was offside, and the goal was fairly canceled.
Such a case occurred for the first time in the history of the Confederations Cup.
Recall, the system of video replay (VAR) is tested at the Confederations Cup-2017. Earlier, she was already tested at the club world championship-2016 and the World Cup-2017 U-20.
