González Overcomes VAR Call for Crucial Penalty

As reported by Mundo Deportivo USA, the first half alone was a roller coaster. There was that electrifying moment when Armando González appeared to score, only for the VAR to step in and disallow it due to a handball in the buildup. It was a tough break, and you can imagine the collective groan from the fans. Yet, this didn't deter him. As Bolavip.com noted, Armando González seemed to channel that disappointment, becoming a real threat in the opposing team’s territory.
And then came the penalty. Just minutes after his disallowed goal, Armando González was fouled inside the box. He bravely stepped up to take the penalty himself, and according to Mundo Deportivo USA, he converted it, sending the ball right into the corner of the net. It was a testament to his resilience, a clear example of not letting a setback define his game. He proved to be a constant danger, and this goal put his team ahead.
This incident has even sparked discussion online, with ESPN journalist Jesús Bernal sharing details from the referees' commission regarding handballs. As Rebaño Pasión highlighted, the consensus seems to be that the initial disallowance was indeed correct according to the rules. Still, it’s fascinating to see how these calls impact a player's psyche and performance. What do you think about these close calls and how they can shift momentum?
