The referee was quite confused, so he had to go to the VAR monitor and see things for himself so that he would be able to make a good decision.
"Well, it was pretty close, I mean it clearly looks like it happened in there," Jim said.
After seeing things clearly for himself, the referee made his way to the pitch to make his decision.
It was almost inside the box, but Mateo was just outside the box when he was brought down and fell into the box and so the referee decided that it was not a penalty kick, it was a free kick just at the edge of the box.
"That's the right call, most referees wouldn't even bother to check that and just decide that it was a penalty kick which it clearly looks like so many people wouldn't complain unless they watched the replay carefully, I'm glad he checked well and made the right decision."
