16 May 2023 at 21:46 The Odd coach chastises VAR: – The second one is actually a mistake Viking struggled for a long time at home against stingy Odd, but turned the match to 3-2 thanks to two penalty scores and a late goal by Sander Svendsen. There was full jubilation among the home fans in Stavanger when Svendsen plunged in the winning goal in the 87th minute. The victory sent Viking up to 2nd place in the elite series table. The Odd fans had more reason to be disappointed, perhaps particularly because of the last of Zlatko Tripic’s two penalties. VAR was called in to check whether Milan Jevtovic’s hand happened inside the 16-metre area, and referee Kristoffer Hagenes chose to award a penalty even though the replays broadcast on TV suggested that the Odd player’s arm was well on the outside. Odd coach Pål Arne Johansen is far from satisfied: – We should perform better in the second half, but at the same time it is bitter that we lose the points on at least one – maybe two – penalties that are incorrect, he says to news. He acknowledges that the first is a discretionary assessment. He is even more critical of the other. – The second one is an actual mistake. The ball is outside when it hits the hand, he says, and points to the big screen images. – At least from all angles that were shown here at the stadium, so it was very clear that it was outside. Judge Hagenes defends the decision. – I judge penalty kicks, which is clear and obvious to me, then there is a VAR check on whether it is outside or inside, and that is an interesting assessment. They take some time and see that there is nothing to say that it is on the outside, so then they support the decision on penalty kicks, he says, and continues: – Here it is also a bit about camera angles. I’m a little unsure of how many cameras are in production today, it’s clear that here it’s all about what evidence you have. And VAR must have clear evidence, “clear and obvious mistake”, to be able to verify what is judged, says Hagenes
