VAR’s misuse in the Crew’s draw at San Jose Earthquakes may not have changed the outcome, but it remains a problem

Saturday, the Columbus Crew was in a great position to win a game on the road, up two on a brace from midfielder Lucas Zelarayan and a substitute goal from forward Gyasi Zardes. With 17 minutes left in regulation, the Black & Gold needed to hold the 10-man San Jose Earthquakes side away from goal to prevent what was ultimately a 3-3 draw.

In the 84th minute, new San Jose acquisition Francisco Calvo got on the end of the first of his two goals. The first was from a free kick where Calvo ran through the Crew defense and headed the ball past falling goalkeeper Eloy Room.
