The refereeing team that led Spezia-Lazio (3-4) last Saturday, corresponding to matchday thirty-fifth of the Italian Serie A, has been suspended for validating what was the winning goal for Lazio when his player finished in an offside position.
The Italian defender Francesco Acerbi rescued the victory for Lazio in the last stages of the game with a goal that should have been reviewed by the VAR, but that was validated and allowed Lazio to cut the advantage over José Mourinho’s Roma in the fight for European positions, now equal to 59 points after the ‘Loba’ draw against Bologna (0- 0).
According to the local media, Luca Pairetto and Luigi Nasca, main referee and VAR referee, respectively, will not whistle for the rest of the season due to what is considered a “chained error ”.
Finished the match between Rome and Bologna, and certified the tie on points that opens even more the fight to play European competitions next season, Mourinho charged against the arbitration of the Lazio match.
“In the years that I have been a coach, there are two things that have not changed: the questions about who played and who did not, and the possibility of winning with an offside goal. It was possible 22 years ago and it is still possible now, as it was yesterday. Everything changes in football, but not these two things”, said the Portuguese coach.
