The MOVIOLA analysis of Inter-Monza concludes: Goal should have been disallowed.

On the eve of its 117th anniversary, Inter decided to give itself a far-from-quiet evening against Monza, showcasing their most iconic identity. Trailing by two goals against Nesta‘s team, it took the genuine Crazy Inter spirit to stage a comeback against the Brianzoli, securing three points that temporarily put Inzaghi’s squad four points ahead of Napoli.

In the earlier match between Inter and Monza, controversies arose due to several questionable refereeing decisions, sparking immediate tensions on the pitch. Among these was Lautaro Martinez’s first goal, cancelled when the scoreline was still 0-0, for a slight handball just before his strike. In this regard, let’s examine the analysis from La Gazzetta dello Sport.

The publication stated: Not an easy game for Zufferli. At the 23rd minute, with the score at 0-0, Lautaro’s goal was disallowed: the Argentine slightly touched the ball with his right hand immediately before scoring. Following a VAR check, the goal was correctly overturned, as per regulations. At the half-hour mark, there was contact between Izzo and Dumfries—no foul there. Lengthy VAR check also for Arnautovic’s goal, but everything was clean in that case: the Austrian forward’s position was regular, and Dumfries, who assisted, did not commit a foul on Kyriakopoulos. In the second half, Zufferli didn’t give a foul by Acerbi on Zeroli, which should have been awarded along with a yellow card for the Nerazzurri defender. Inter’s winning goal came thanks to goal-line technology: Turati pushed away the ball, but not before it had completely crossed the goal line.
