Leonardo Campana
Leonardo Campana was going to celebrate his first goal with the FC Famalicão in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, but the referee disallowed the action with the assistance of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) due to offside by the Ecuadorian forward.
It was the 40th minute when, after a cross from Joaquín Pereyra from the right side, Campana, attentive to the marking of a defender, headed the ball and his shot against the ground beat the Rio Ave goalkeeper.
The Tricolor striker and his teammates celebrated the conquest that ultimately did not add to the score (2-0) for FC Famalicão.
The image from the television network that owns the rights to the championship showed the millimetric image of Campana's offside. According to the line drawn by the technology system, 9 centimeters prevented the Wolverhampton player, who is on loan in Portugal this season, from scoring his first goal in the league, in his first game as a starter since joining the club on September 19.
Earlier, in the 19th minute, Campana did not manage to connect in time with a rebound left in the goal area by Polish goalkeeper Pawel Kieszek.
DT João Pedro Sousa decided to put the Guayaquil forward on the field as a center forward in a 4-3-3 formation.
