The Open Var program released the referee's recording of a penalty misjudgment in Naples' 3-1 Inter Milan match.

After Di Lorenzo fell to the ground:

VAR: "We think there is no problem here, but we still check. "

Head referee: "My sight was blocked by the players. "

Assistant referee: "Attention, this is a penalty kick, a penalty kick. "

Head referee: "Are you sure? "

Assistant referee: "It's a penalty kick, it's indeed a penalty kick. "

VAR: "Indeed, Di Lorenzo intervened, but he intervened because of an action... He did not stretch his legs to gain space that did not belong to the ball, but stretched his legs to protect the ball. Let's take a look at Mkhitaryan's movements, wait a moment. Look at Di Lorenzo's face, he is protecting the ball. Wait a moment, I am verifying."

VAR: "Guys, we can't cancel the decision here. Penalty, because there is contact, and we can't judge the intensity of the contact. So, dynamically, Di Lorenzo is not stretching his legs to find space...he just wants to protect the ball. Well, Mauri, this is Valery, penalty kick confirmation, Mkhitaryan's foul. But in fact, he did not do so, his action was just to protect the ball.Mini-game recommendations:Pony Racing
