    Auckland FC boss Nick Becker feels the admission Adelaide were incorrectly awarded a penalty in their 4-all draw with the Black Knights simply confirms what everyone in attendance at Mt Smart Stadium already knew

    Auckland FC boss Nick Becker feels the admission Adelaide were incorrectly awarded a penalty in their 4-all draw with the Black Knights simply confirms what everyone in attendance at Mt Smart Stadium already knew


    An A-League referee reviews panel have acknowledged the video official and referee made errors in awarding the first of two contentious spot kicks.

    In a statement - Becker says while they appreciate the panel's transparency, it was frustrating that VAR intervened and convinced the referee to award the penalty.

    Becker adds that VAR should be a means of reviewing clear and obvious errors, not creating them.
