The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup could have used VAR on Wednesday at Alvernia University after a controversial offside flag erased what Philadelphia Lone Star and their lively traveling supporters thought was an 82nd minute equalizer.
Anthony Allison got to a bouncing ball in the box off a corner kick and set off a celebration on the field and in the stands that soon turned to shock as it was waved off by the offside flag.
“I don’t know if it was offside or not I couldn’t see but if it wasn’t that’s unlucky for them,” Reading United head coach Alan McCann said.
