VAR intervened more than once in the course of matches of the 19th round of the Italian championship.
In Rome, Lazio and Fiorentina played a tense and scandalous match that ended in a 2:2 draw. The home team, who came into the match depleted by suspensions and injuries, created a number of chances in the first half, but were unable to capitalize on their chances. Fiorentina saved more than once thanks to the game of David De Gea and knocking the ball out of the goal line. After the break, Lazio opened the scoring, but after a few minutes the guests responded with a spectacular goal by Robin Goossens. The climax came at the end of the match, when, after VAR review, a penalty was first awarded to the Romans, which was converted by Albert Gudmundsson, and already in stoppage time, Pedro coolly equalized with a shot from the eleven-meter mark.

In the away match against Parma, Inter won 2:0 and took advantage of the competitors’ misfires. Christian Kivu’s team, who returned to the pitch of his former club, controlled the flow of the game and created more dangerous moments. The first goal came after a VAR review when Federico Dimarco scored from an acute corner. The hosts were close to success several times, but failed to convert their chances. Marcus Thuram put the finishing touches on the match with a late goal to put Inter within four points of Napoli.
