Football Association of Slovenia confirms VAR room error: Olimpija was harmed in the eternal derby, technology is to blame
Could the eternal derby between Maribor and
Olimpija
(2:0) would have ended differently if the main referee David Šmajc had not awarded Aldair a foul with 10 minutes to go, but had pointed to a white card for Martin Miloć’ s handball in his own penalty area? We will never know. But we know that there was a mistake in this action, as confirmed by
Football Association of Slovenia
which has pointed the finger of blame at the company that provides the technology that helps referees in the VAR room.
“The derby 22. Maribor vs Olimpija in the 79th round of the Telemach First League In the first minute of the match, there was an error in the determination of the lines of no-site due to an incomplete calibration of the lines of no-site on the relevant camera of the Hawk-Eye technology provider. This was confirmed today by Hawk Eye, the official VAR technology provider for the biggest UEFA and FIFA competitions and the strongest European leagues, following an analysis of the event,” said the Football Association of Slovenia.
Brdo pri Kranju added: “Hawk Eye sincerely apologises to the Football Association of Slovenia, the management of the competition and both clubs for the error and assures that it will thoroughly analyse the causes of the error and will do everything possible to ensure that such problems do not happen again in the future.”
