Later they faced the couple made up of Luis Díaz and Juan Fernando Quintero.

In this duel there was a controversial play in which James and Vargas claimed that the ball had not touched the court, while Lucho and Quintero claimed that it had.

Technological help was necessary, because James reviewed the play on a cell phone that was recording the duel and there it was seen, step by step, as if it were a VAR, that James and Vargas were right, despite Díaz’s claims that he did not want to lose this challenge.

“I fight, look,” James shouts while showing the image on his cell phone so that Díaz realizes that the ball did not touch the court. In the end, the victory went to the James-Vargas couple.
