FIFA president Gianni Infantino has highlighted the need for video assistant referee (VAR) technology in the wake of Panama's 2-1 win over Costa Rica in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying on Tuesday.
The Panamanians helped eliminate the United States from a place in Russia next summer after being an awarded a goal despite the ball appearing to not cross the goal line in the 53rd minute.
The result, coupled with the U.S.'s 2-1 loss at Trinidad and Tobago, meant Panama qualified ahead of the Americans, who will miss out on their first World Cup since 1986.
