As Greg said, it's covered in the The Definitive Angle. PRO's position reads that the review should not have been recommended (but also that play should have been stopped for a head injury before the challenge).
@@johnmcgimpsey1825 The actual analysis and VAR-ref discussion would have been nice rather than just the ruling, though. Definitive Angle doesn’t include any of that. The only conclusion I can come up with is that there is something in that discussion that is embarrassing for PRO. It was a terrible call to overturn the PK. The contact was obvious in review. It’s worse than not being clear and obvious to overturn the call on the field - the review confirms the call on the field. The injury, it turns out, wasn’t even a foul on the attacking team - it was the defending team’s keeper hitting their own player.
@@DukeTrout That's a fair take, though I'm just glad that PRO's as transparent as they are - far more than any other league or competition in the world. Every VAR review is publicly addressed. If a situation is one that is embarrassing or otherwise better used for training officials, I'm fine with not airing the audio: They've publicly said the decision was wrong (again, relatively rare in other competitions), so no need to self-flagellate. Refs are people and they make mistakes. Most of the time they learn from them and get better, but it seems more often refs are expected to be perfect, and when they do err there are outraged calls from fans for them to be fired or demoted (while those fans don't typically make the same demand for a player who, say, skies a PK), so I understand not throwing fuel on the fire, As for the head injury - doesn't matter a bit whether the injury was from a collision with an opponent, a teammate, a goal, a sideboard, etc., player safety protocol requires stopping play as soon as the injury is recognized.
@@johnmcgimpsey1825 I completely agree about the head injury - I was more commenting about whether there was a possible foul in the APP. Though I didn’t see a delay in treatment. Maybe VAR could have notified the official to stop play a few seconds sooner, but on the field it’s tough to differentiate a down player as a head injury vs simply getting knocked down.
Good call on last review
offside for IWP is factual, why need on field review?????
No explanation for the VAR-reversed PK in the Thorns-Dash game!?!

What was Rodriguez supposed to do differently? There should have been a second yellow and red on Louisville
