In the match between Bayer Leverkusen and Hoffenheim, referee Dr Robin Braun made the first-ever announcement about a video decision over the loudspeakers in the stadium.

In the aftermath of controversial decisions made by referees since the introduction of VAR, Europes top leagues have explored the idea of in-stadium announcements to enhance transparency and quality of referee decisions.

The Bundesliga launched the project earlier this month during a Leverkusen and Hoffenheim match, which many think will revolutionise the game going forward.

League across Europe such as the Premier League have seen various push-back against it as it may hinder gameplay and complicate the game.
