Roma-Inter, slow motion: Thuram’s position on Acerbi’s goal

The Nerazzurri’s lead, boosted by a deflection from the Belgian attacker, was reviewed at VAR

In the 17th minute Inter took the lead at the Olimpico. Acerbi’s header was favored by an involuntary assist from the former Lukaku who deflected the ball from a corner “serving” the defender. But the episode is important above all for its slow-motion implications. A VAR check is carried out for a possible offside position.

doubt offside

Whose? From Thuram who, on Acerbi’s header, goes beyond the Giallorossi defenders. Although the Nerazzurri striker is close to Rui Patricio and touches the Roma goalkeeper, his position is not considered influential by referee Guida who, after reviewing the episode on the monitor, maintains the decision made on the pitch and confirms the goal for Inter.
