ISTANBUL (AA) - The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system changed 29 decisions in the first eight weeks of Turkish football league.

In Turkey's Spor Toto Super Lig, 11 goals were denied and eight direct red cards were given using the VAR system.

With the help of the VAR, four decisions of denying goals were corrected, four penalty decisions were changed and two penalties were given.

On Sunday, when VAR system broke down for couple of minutes in Fenerbahce-Medipol Basaksehir match, the referee disallowed Basaksehir's goal due to controversial off-side position.
