Barely had the Serie A championship got underway, and it was already a cult moment. At the San Siro, Milan and Torino were battling it out, and in the 29th minute, the Granata broke into their opponents’ box: Zapata’s cross, Bellanova’s header, Sanabria trying to deflect it off the inside post. Malick Thiaw cleared it, the referee said nothing, and everyone in the stands stared at each other in disbelief.
Indeed, from the looks of it, the ball seemed to have crossed the line by at least 20 cm, but play continued as if nothing had happened for two minutes until Mr Maresca stopped it, called the captains together and waited for instructions from his Var colleagues. He awarded the goal, but the goal-line technology linked to his watch didn’t work.
