Sarmiento and Barracas Central draw 1-1 after disputed decisions
Sarmiento and Barracas Central drew 1-1 at Sarmiento’s stadium in Junín, Argentina.
Sarmiento appealed for a penalty after a challenge by Barracas defender Rodrigo Insua, but the referee did not award one; the contact was described as open to interpretation.

Sarmiento later scored what appeared to be a 2-1 goal, but VAR ruled the goal offside after a review lasting five minutes and 30 seconds.

VAR also overturned Suárez’s second yellow card after showing he had not touched the Barracas player who fell.
