Hilarious Moment in Serbia After Referee Disallows a Goal After Watching Replay on Fan’s Phone

• There was a rather comical moment in Serbia after a referee overturned his initial decision after watching the replay on a fan's mobile phone
• The fan's resourcefulness came in handy, given that the field did not have the Video Assistant Referee
• It is not clear what basis the referee used to arrive at his decision, but all parties appeared contented

In as much as the Video Assistant Referee(VAR) has been blamed for often curtailing celebrations and removing the joy out of the game, there is no denying that most of the time, decisions have been rendered correctly after a review.

VAR has been introduced in all the major leagues, with lower leagues and third-world countries making an effort to introduce the phenomenon soon. But this is still a challenge, as witnessed recently in a Serbian game.

The game, which reportedly was in the lower leagues of the country's football pyramid, required the referee to make a contentious decision on a goal that had been scored by the red-wearing team in the video.

But the field did not have VAR features but luckily enough, a fan was recording the game on his mobile phone. The referee was then invited to watch the replay on the mobile phone!

After a review, the referee is believed to have overturned the goal and unlike in many situations, the red team did not contest the decision as the blue team scampered away in celebration.

It is not clear what parameters the referee was looking at. Whether there was a foul in the build-up or it was offside. But the fact remains that he appeared to arrive at the correct decision.

Thomas Tuchel hilariously filmed imitating Thiago Silva

Sports Brief had previously reported that Thomas Tuchel has built a reputation for himself as one of the most elite managers in world football.

His Champions League triumph with Chelsea in 2021 with a squad that he had overseen for less than five months, had a huge impact on his CV. A season before, he had managed to guide Paris Saint-Germain to their first-ever Champions League final.

But it appears that the German is a man of many talents. A video circulating online spotted by Sports Brief showed the former Chelsea boss doing an impression of veteran defender Thiago Silva.
