AWS outage causes Premier League semi-automatic offside to be deactivated, Little Bee goal was canceled

On October 21, the Premier League officially informed that the global AWS (Amazon Web Services) outage caused the semi-automatic offside to be unavailable in today's game. Offside can only be determined by crossing the line.

In the 8th round of the Premier League, West Ham United vs. Brentford, Igor Thiago scored the second goal for the Bees in stoppage time in the first half. However, the VAR ruled that the first long pass was offside and the goal was invalid.

The Premier League officially stated: Due to today’s global AWS service outage, semi-automatic offside recognition technology will be temporarily unavailable in tonight’s game. If an offside decision is needed, the video assistant referee will use the virtual offside line technology from previous seasons. If semi-automatic offside technology becomes available again during a match, the feature will be enabled at the appropriate time.
