According to football-italia, the Italian Referees Association confirmed that in the atlanta vs Roma, Milan vs Napoli, two invalid goals were correctly awarded, but VAR had problems with ultra vires and violations of the rules in the atalanta vs. Roma match.
The two invalid goals caused huge controversy in Last Weekend's Serie A match, with two managers, Gasperini and Pioli, protesting that it was an unfair penalty and an over-interpretation of the current offside rules.
In both matches, both goals were invalidated due to the offside position of the untouched player. At the Bergamo Stadium, the offside player is Palomino, while in the san Siro game it is Olivier giroud.
The two players were judged to be active offside roles, and through Sky Sports Italia, the Italian Referees Association has now confirmed that this was the right decision as the two players made physical contact with opposing defenders during the goal. It was enough to assume they were interfering with the game, and Palomino put his hand on the back of Roma midfielder Crisante, causing the latter to turn and face his own door.
As for Giroud, he fell under the opponent's body after tangling with Juan, but moved his leg after falling to the ground, even somehow interfering with the Napoli defender's clearance, and later Casey scored the ball.
In both incidents, the only mistake that occurred was made during the match in Bergamo, where VAR did not advise the referee to take a video replay of the scene. VAR can only make objective decisions, such as offside, or whether the foul occurred inside or outside the box. Video assistant referees have no right to judge whether the offside occurred actively or passively.
VAR's penalty suggests that he believes Palomino touched the ball, in which case he made a bigger mistake, as the replay showed that he did not touch the ball himself.
