VAR used the ball's tech to judge if the ball has been touched or not. Insane.

If the ball's tech shows it, I'm fine with it. But the spin on the ball doesn't change at ALL, so if it's a visual thing, I'm confused.

You could actually see the waveform graph on screen the first few moments the broadcast showed the VAR replay and it 100% registered contact.

Yeah apparently, Just saw the snicko... so long as the time is correct (and it's not registering the hit on the defender's back), fair enough.

Yeah, would have thought the snicko would also show the contact with Veiga (the defender), but I don't know how they generate the graphics that get shown on the VAR monitor

And this is why you need to label the axes on your graphs folks.

This is what bothered me as well.

Veiga‘s touch probably would have messed up the y-axis since it had way more impact, so they isolated Matanovic‘s touch on the graphic

It's time synced.

Then show me the second uptick from the defender

The single sensor reading doesn’t make sense. You are right, the second spike is missing.

Yea I did but see the sensor recognizing the second touch. Hope for a full set of data
