"The dying minutes of Milan-Lazio ended up being rather controversial, as VAR instructed the referee to assess a potential penalty for the away side, only for a foul to be awarded instead."
"Having said that, a Rafael Leao goal was all that Milan needed. The No.10 found the back of the net in the 52nd minute after a nice attack by the Rossoneri, and they did well afterwards to defend their lead."
"Collu made the right decision with the wrong approach. Pavlovic and Marusic held each other back, so for me it wasn't a foul. Just as it wasn't a handball by Pavlovic, who had his back turned and was close to Romagnoli. Furthermore, his arm was in a natural position and wasn't moving towards the ball. If Romagnoli had scored, VAR wouldn't have intervened to disallow the goal for Marusic's"
The match between Milan and Lazio was largely uneventful, with both sides struggling to create chances and numerous technical errors frustrating fans. Rafael Leao scored in the 52nd minute after a Rossoneri attack, and Milan defended their lead for the remainder of the game. A late VAR check examined a potential handball by Strahinja Pavlovic, but the referee ultimately awarded a free-kick, citing a prior foul on Pavlovic. The sequence, delayed by Massimiliano Allegri's sending off, provoked Lazio to boycott the media. Refereeing analysts judged the outcome correct but criticized the execution of the decision.
