Among the episodes of the sixteenth day of Serie A examined in the last episode of Open Var on Dazn, the penalty awarded to Inter after a long intervention from the Var was also analyzed. A decision shared by the member of CAN Mauro Tonolini, who explained the reason why it was right to carefully review the action and assign the maximum penalty.
These were his words on the penalty in Lazio-Inter: “Correct intervention by the VAR tonight, because Gigot jumps with his arm high on Dumfries’ header and hits the ball. The incident proceeds the offside from Lautaro, and the VAR was right to intervene. Arm above the shoulder line in an unnatural position. With this kind of action, players take a risk and in case of impact it becomes punishable.
