In the Serie A match between league leaders Inter and Monza, several refereeing decisions were reviewed. Here’s an analysis of the most debated moments.
Lautaro Martinez’s Disallowed Goal (23′)
Lautaro Martinez scored for Inter, but the goal was disallowed. Replays showed that before shooting, Martinez touched the ball with his thigh and then his hand. The referee rightly disallowed the goal due to handball.
Arnautovic’s Goal Confirmation (46′)
Inter scored to make it 2-1. The goal by Arnautovic was initially reviewed by VAR for a potential foul in attack leading up to the goal. After a lengthy VAR check, the referee confirmed the goal was valid.
Lautaro Martinez’s Goal Confirmed by Goal Line Technology (78′)
Following a cross from Carlos Augusto, Lautaro Martinez and Kyriakopoulos both challenged for the ball, and Monza’s goalkeeper Turati attempted to clear it. Initially, the referee did not award the goal, but Goal Line Technology confirmed that the ball had crossed the goal line. The goal was then correctly awarded to Inter.
