Gol annullati in Juve-Fiorentina, Calvarese: «Il Var annulla con overrule»

Gianpaolo Calvarese, ex referee, has analyzed the annulled goals during the match between Juventus and Fiorentina. In his analysis to Tuttosport, he focused on specific incidents that occurred during the game.

In the first half, three goals from Juventus were disallowed by VAR due to offside. The most peculiar case was the first disallowed goal: Gatti hit the crossbar, Vlahovic (who was in a legal position) put the ball into the net, but there was a touch from Bremer (who did everything to avoid being involved), in a geographical offside position. The VAR overturned the decision. McKennie was also irregular in both his goal and the one scored by Vlahovic (the American had provided the assist). Despite the game not being too challenging, Calvarese managed the situations well. He applauded the consistency in judgment, although there were no significant incidents in the two penalty areas, except for a fair challenge between Kayode and Yildiz. Three yellow cards were eventually given, with the one to Yildiz possibly being considered harsh, given the standards applied during the match.

Calvarese’s analysis sheds light on the meticulous scrutiny that referees undertake during matches, especially with the aid of technologies like VAR. The intricate decisions made impact the outcome of the game and emphasize the importance of precise and fair officiating in football.
