What a shite show. VAR shite killing the game.
Pk’s need to be caught by the ref. If it’s not visible to the naked eye then don’t go slowing it down looking for it. The game isn’t played in VAR land.

It looked like his foot was inches off the line, VAR to the rescue!

The GK encroachment call is irritating, but technically correct.

New rules published in August state that there is to be a warning before the caution to the encroaching GK in a shootout. However, MLS started this season before those rules were adopted so they can't use them in these playoffs.

The botched substitution however, which was only reversed once the backup gk was in the goal waiting for the kick to be taken was truly shocking, and then the referee losing track of the kicks taken and blowing the final whistle after a save with the score still tied... Well, I think even a local u-12 ref could do better

All of the officials of the Orlando city game have been suspended and won’t work another playoff game this season
