Key Refereeing Moments in Torino vs Bologna Serie A Clash
The Serie A fixture between Torino and Bologna, kicking off at 15:00, marked the first match of the 17th round. Several contentious refereeing decisions occurred during the game, warranting closer examination:
80th minute: Referee Piccinini initially disallowed Tommaso Pobega’s goal for Torino due to a perceived offside position of Dallinga. However, after consulting VAR, the decision was overturned and the goal stood. Dallinga was judged to have not interfered with play despite spreading his legs to allow the ball to continue its path towards the goal.
7th minute: Bologna was awarded a penalty following a VAR review. Referee Piccinini determined that Borna Sosa had committed a foul on Emil Holm in the box. However, Castro failed to capitalize on the opportunity, with his spot-kick saved by Torino goalkeeper Milinkovic-Savic.
