How are teams judged?

Fewest cards is the favorable side — fewer cards than their opponents drew means the calls leaned their way.

More than usual is the favorable side — opponents booked above their own usual rate means the calls fell the team's way.

More than the field is the favorable side — more opponent dismissals than the field norm means the calls fell the team's way.

Net for is the favorable side — more interventions breaking for the team means VAR leaned their way.

Most often is the favorable side — more opponent goals disallowed means those interventions fell the team's way.

Net won is the favorable side — winning more penalties than they concede means the spot-kick calls leaned their way.

Net for is the favorable side — penalties, red cards and disallowed goals netting in their favor means the decisive calls broke their way.

Tilted their way is the favorable side — big timed calls breaking their way while trailing means the whistle leaned toward the chasing side.
