The match was defined by two contentious VAR incidents. In the 48th minute, what appeared to be a penalty on Cucho by Mendy was ruled outside the area. More controversial was the 86th minute incident when Valentín injured Ratiu after clearing the ball, with the referee deciding against a red card after a four-minute VAR review.
The match featured 14 minutes of added time, reflecting the modern football trend of extended stoppages due to video reviews.
