PORTO (Reuters) - A penalty to Portugal suddenly turned into a penalty for opponents Switzerland after an extraordinary incident involving the VAR system at the Nations League on Wednesday. Play continued, Portugal then went straight down the other end and were awarded a penalty for a foul on Bernardo Silva. Amid furious Swiss protests, referee Felix Brych, after consulting the video assistant, then decided to review the Swiss incident on the pitchside monitor and awarded them the spot kick. And had he decided against awarding the Swiss a penalty -- would he then have reviewed the foul on Silva to confirm the penalty for Portugal? "In the space of one minute, we had a penalty awarded against us and then in our favour," he said.
