Juventus had two goals disallowed in this evening’s trip to Lecce, both for Dusan Vlahovic offside positions, but only one required a VAR On-Field Review.

The Bianconeri had taken an early lead when Vlahovic scored under 15 seconds into the match, meeting the Andrea Cambiaso cross.
Although they had the ball in the net on another two occasions, neither of them went on the scoresheet.
Juventus caught out by VAR
In the first situation at the dawn of the second half, Vlahovic had wandered offside when turning in the rebound from a parried Cambiaso effort.
This was a clear offside that VAR were able to confirm and inform the referee to disallow it.
However, the second goal was more complicated, because Vlahovic did not touch the ball when Jamal Siebert’s panicked clearance allowed Cambiaso to put in another cross, flicked into the net by Pierre Kalulu.
Because Vlahovic never made contact with the ball, it was not clear whether he was interfering with play or not.
This is a subjective decision, not an objective one like the first goal, so it can only be made by the referee himself.
VAR therefore called Andrea Colombo over to the touchline to view it himself on the monitor.
The referee confirmed that Vlahovic “was interfering with play” when almost colliding with Siebert to force that error, so the Juventus goal had to be disallowed.
