"After review, there was no offside offense, ... However, prior to the goal, there was a foul committed by St. Louis. The final decision is direct free kick."
On June 22, 2024, when announcing a VAR decision, Dujic created a viral moment when he stated that there was no offside on a goal, but a foul instead. The moment received attention because of Dujic's delivery of "However" between the dismissal of the offside and the ruling of the foul.[8][9][10]
