In the 70th minute, from a pass from Oihane Hernandez, striker Jennifer Hermoso tapped the ball into the goal to raise the score to 4-0 for Spain in the match against Zambia. At this time, the referee team operating VAR technology decided to advise the main referee Oh Hyeon Jeong.
Referee Oh Hyeon Jeong read the wrong decision.
However, a rare mistake happened. For some unknown reason, the beautiful Korean referee lost her temper and mistakenly announced her own decision. She said: " The ball situation was confirmed not to be offside, no goal for the Spanish women's team ". Then, realizing her mistake, referee Oh announced again that the goal was recognized for Hermoso.
Referee Oh Hyeon Jeong also consulted VAR twice. She recognized Redondo's goal in the second half and took away another goal from Hermoso in the first half. These were both correct decisions.
Referee Oh explains to the Spanish player.
At the 2023 Women's World Cup, after consulting VAR technology, referees must directly announce their decisions and the reasons for their decisions via microphones and loudspeaker systems on the field. This is a new feature from FIFA so that fans watching the match live can understand the referee's judgment.
In the past, referee Oh Hyeon Jeong has officiated several matches of the Vietnamese women's team. She was even threatened to be killed by Myanmar fans for awarding a penalty to the Vietnamese women's team in the semi-final match against Myanmar at the 2016 AFF Cup.
Oh Hyeon Jeong is an experienced referee in Korean football. She was born in 1988 and has 9 years of experience as a referee. Oh Hyeon Jeong's refereeing career started in 2014 and it only took her 1 more year to be recognized as a FIFA referee.
