Serie A pacesetters Inter Milan extended their unbeaten Serie A run against Parma to seven matches with a 2-0 win last night.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, VAR handled two match-defining moments with authority.
Cristian Chivu enjoyed a triumphant return to the Ennio Tardini as Inter scored on either side of halftime to claim three points.
Indeed, Federico Dimarco opened the scoring on the stroke of halftime.
Referee Andrea Colombo initially ruled the goal out as the linesman waved his flag for offside.
However, VAR overturned the on-field decision, correctly ruling Dimarco onside and allowing the goal to stand.
VAR Up to the Task in Parma 0-2 Inter Milan
Inter wasted a catalog of chances before and after Dimarco’s goal, even hitting the woodwork twice.
Therefore, Chivu’s side entered the second-half stoppages boasting a narrow one-goal lead.
Yet, Ange-Yoan Bonny scored on his return to Tardini, only for VAR to disallow his goal for a handball in the build-up.
Indeed, Marcus Thuram recklessly handled the ball, which went unnoticed at first glance.
Luckily, the Frenchman atoned for this mistake moments later to seal Inter’s win.
