{The assistant referee's flag is up, indicating the possibility of an offside call}
{The Porto players obviously disagree with the raised flag and they are making their discontent known to the referee} Alan commented as he watched the Porto players run up to the referee to argue over the offside call.
For once, Jason also ran up to the referee as he knew that there was no way Viera was offside especially since he had been watching him all along, but the referee ignored the Porto players' claims and put his hand to his ear, indicating that he was consulting the VAR.
After a few seconds of listening, the referee decided to go and check the VAR himself as the results were inconclusive.
The Porto players had no choice but to wait and pray... At least the ones who were religious prayed, while the others just waited and wished for luck.
