The audio shows the lines being drawn and incorporates a central camera recording, but it lacks security with the yellow dotted lines projecting from the shoulders to the floor, without clearly showing the exact point where they start and how they determine that those lines reached the ground to be interrupted. Novelli confirms the offside to Dóvalo, and at no point in the dialogue is anything shown that certifies the camera stopped at the exact instant. If the frame is frozen too early or a frame is missing, the players continued moving, and the lines are no longer precise about the players' positions. The rule determines the positions at the exact moment the pass from the teammate is made.
