On Wednesday, the Africa Cup of Nations will witness the debut of the video review system (VAR) in the quarter-final match between Benin and Senegal.

Published on July 10, 2019, the technology had previously sparked chaotic scenes at the CAF Champions League final two months prior.

Officials hope that the drama of previous VAR use in the continent can be avoided in this match.
