Sarmiento was beating Barracas Central with a goal, but the VAR called the referee Zamora to annul it

In a football match between Sarmiento and Barracas Central during the Clausura tournament, Sarmiento scored two goals but had one disallowed by a controversial VAR decision. Junior Marabel's goal was called back due to an alleged offside position, though the review did not clearly show this. The referee, Daniel Zamora, initially performed well but later became unclear in his decisions. Sarmiento protested the call, arguing the goal was valid. The VAR's line marking failed to account for the defender’s leg, which would have allowed the play. This decision has been seen as part of a pattern where rulings often favor clubs associated with the Argentine Football Association (AFA). The match ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving Sarmiento in fifth place in their group.
