An extraordinary event occurred in Venezuelan football during the match between Puerto Cabello and Portuguesa in the Liga FUTVE, as a TV broadcast image showing the offside lines went viral worldwide.
Unbelievable! The Offside Ruling in Venezuela
In the 86th minute, Mart铆n Rodr铆guez scored following an assist from the left wing by Marlon Rodr铆guez. However, the goal was disallowed for offside by referee Yilber Berm煤dez.
The controversy and social media buzz arose because, in the absence of VAR (only available in some matches), the broadcasting channel drew a line to indicate the offside position. The issue was that the line was drawn diagonally and crookedly, causing a significant stir online.
Ultimately, the match ended in a goalless draw (0-0). Despite the referee's correct decision, the broadcaster's blunder became the main talking point of the game.
