Tim Ream found himself at the centre of a historic VAR moment as the United States launched their FIFA World Cup campaign with a commanding 4-1 victory over Paraguay in Group D at SoFi Stadium on Saturday.

The 38-year-old veteran defender was originally yellow-carded by Dutch referee Danny Makkelie, who appeared to have brought down Paraguay captain Miguel Almiron during the second half. However, in a completely unprecedented turn of events, the VAR intervened once the free kick had been taken and confusion ensued between both the fans, the players and officials for a spell.
