Opinion was divided as fans on social media had their say on the VAR decisions during Cameroon v Chile encounter at Otkrytie Arena on Sunday evening. Chile’s Eduardo Vargas was certainly in disbelief that his first half effort was cancelled, when he fired past Fabrice Ondoa after receiving a pass from Arturo Vidal - but the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) felt otherwise. It was the big talking point of the first half as Chile were denied the chance of taking the lead against Cameroon in the Confederations Cup tie. Referee Damir Skomina ruled the South American’s goal for an offside after VAR referral.
And there was still more drama from VAR in the dying seconds of the game, as Vargas made it two after firing home the rebound after Alexis Sanchez had his attempt blocked. Many felt the goal should not have stood. As usual, fans took to Twitter to express their thoughts on the effectiveness of the Video Assistant Referee.

Was the second goal the right call, or was the VAR just making amends for ruling Vargas's first goal out for offside?!?#ConfedCup2017
One of worst parts of #VAR is that instead of players celebrating after goals, everyone is confused and watches the ref. #NoVAR#ConfedCup
@LukotoV I prefer my probably corrupt & poor referees over this Video Refereeing. It kills the vibe @RasNyiko @Monty_KurLu@RESTCRUZ
@BingiRasKhanari @LukotoV @RasNyiko @RESTCRUZ I like the VAR. We need accurate decisions in big games. Sometimes referees give horrible calls. The game should be fair. It will improve.
Well we just saw history unfold before our eyes...a perfectly good goal chalked off but restored...and no one died...
@tonyskill Honestly I love this VAR initiative..that Vargas goal was a clear goal..and yeye linesman wan rob am..kudos to FIFA
Is there anybody watching tonight that doesn't think VAR is a shambles? We're all going to hell in a handcart. #Thinkagain.
VAR keeps bursting bubbles at the #ConfederationsCup
The Vargas goal is legitimate. I'm in support of technology in football but the VAR is a no no for me @SuperSportTV
So VAR is "flawless"?! You sure?! pic.twitter.com/FUddjkwZtJ— Taylor Twellman (@TaylorTwellman) June 18, 2017
