Controversial VAR Decision Halts Inter-Atalanta Match

A new episode of slow-motion review in Inter-Atalanta that was halted for five minutes due to the VAR. In Lissone, they took a long time to analyze a play at the 54th minute, when Dumfries' cross was deflected by Hateboer with his hand. The right-back had his right arm wide and perpendicular to his body, and after a long analysis, Colombo went to the On Field Review and then decided on the penalty kick, which was missed by Lautaro. Initially, it was not clear what the referee was evaluating. After clarifying that the right winger's hand touch was real, Colombo decided to view the ball that had bounced on the line. The issue was precisely this: whether the ball had gone out or not. The Atalanta players had indeed stopped to allow the play from the goalkeeper, but the referee decided to award the penalty because there was no goal kick.
