Remember that we did actually have one instance of VAR being used in our favor. Sort of. And it was the same thing.Also, this is going back to last weekend's games but there was one thing I noticed in the Portland-Orlando game I found interesting.
Spector fouled Mattocks in the box, but it was initially missed by the ref. Went to VAR where the ref determined that it was in fact a foul and a PK. The ref then issued Spector a yellow card.
Is the issuance of the yellow per the rules? I know yellows cannot be reviewed, and technically the ref was reviewing the penalty decision, but is he actually able to go ahead and determine a yellow should be issued there? I feel like that opens it up quite a bit when other items are reviewed and additional yellows could be given or other yellows rescinded.
During the home Derby game, when Zizzo kicked Villa high, it went to video review, which just confirmed that it was a PK. But it wasn't until after the video review that Zizzo got the yellow card.
Now the situations are a little different, since Toledo had already called the PK in our game, and maybe had already in his head decided on a card and just wanted to confirm it wasn't a red.
