“Inter is the most…”

Cristi Chivu's Inter is the only top team in Serie A that did not benefit from refereeing errors! This was the result of a analyzes of all officially recognized Open VAR episodes.

Open VAR analysis: Lazio and Fiorentina, the main beneficiaries

Former Italian referee Gianpaolo Calvarese, now an expert on Prime Video and the one who presented the whole situation, says that Lazio and Fiorentina lead the table with four recognized refereeing errors in their favor.

Napoli are right behind them with three, followed by Milan and Juve with two each and finally Inter, who have not had a single refereeing error in their favor this entire championship, according to Open VAR.

In January, Inter's winning goal against Verona should not have been awarded

There is, however, one controversial episode that happened in January. In Inter's match with Verona (2-1), TV replays showed that the Nerazzurri's 2-1 goal should not have been disallowed, as Bastoni elbowed an opponent in the chest just seconds before the Milanese scored the decisive blow.

Central Michael Fabbri did not see the phase, and Luigi Nasca, who was in the VAR booth, did not notice anything irregular either, although the replays showed otherwise. So instead of Verona being awarded a free-kick following an attacking foul, play was allowed to continue and Inter scored shortly afterwards.

Corriere dello Sport wrote at the time that, as a result of failing to call Fabbri on the touchline monitor, Italian refereeing chiefs relegated Nasca to Serie B as punishment.
