Yasser Al-Qahtani, the former striker of the Saudi national team, revealed that if Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology had been available in the 2007 Asian Cup final, at least 3 players would have been expelled, and he added jokingly: “They would have even been imprisoned.”

The Iraqi team won the final match with a goal by Younis Mahmoud and won the continental title for the first time in its history, in the match that was held in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The former Al-Hilal striker’s speech came in an interview with the “In the Goal” program on Wednesday, when he answered the journalist Battal Al-Qaws’s question about what would have changed if video technology had been available in his career. Al-Qahtani responded jokingly: “Three players would have been imprisoned in the Asian Cup final. It was a violent final.”
