Commentator Tiago Silva, from CMTV, criticized the video assistant referee (VAR) decision in a play involving defender Bednarek and FC Porto, during an unspecified match. In his intervention, Silva expressed incomprehension regarding the lack of VAR intervention to draw the referee's attention to a possible penalty in favor of the dragons.
The commentator considered it inexplicable that, given that specific play, the video assistant referee system had not acted. His reaction came following a move in which Bednarek allegedly committed an infraction that, in Tiago Silva's view, should have resulted in a penalty kick for FC Porto.
Tiago Silva's position falls within the context of CMTV's sports coverage, where the commentator is known for his opinions on refereeing decisions in Portuguese football. The criticism directed at the VAR reflects a recurring dissatisfaction in certain media sectors regarding technological decisions in national sports.
