Cusco FC Demands VAR Transparency From CONMEBOL After Flamengo Defeat

The club seeks VAR data to test whether rules are applied evenly.

Overview

  • Cusco FC said in an official note that it contacted CONMEBOL and the Peruvian federation following the April 8 Copa Libertadores loss to Flamengo.
  • The club asked for the VAR technical files on the disputed plays and a pledge that protocols are enforced the same for every club, noting respect for referees and the system.
  • One flashpoint was a Marlon Ruidías goal erased for a very close offside after a video review.
  • The team also cited an alleged stomp by Gonzalo Plata that reports say was not checked by VAR for a possible red card.
  • CONMEBOL has not released a technical breakdown or taken action, the 2-0 result stands, and Cusco FC now visits Estudiantes in La Plata on April 14.
