"We reached this decision through a process. We should ask the goalkeepers about the impact. They worked very well on the pitch here, and VAR respected the on-field decision. It was a borderline decision; from this decision on, we'll move on to the offside rule. Because we're in the goal area, after all. It's punishable based on positioning and proximity to the goalkeeper. I repeat: borderline. But it's more punishable than not."
"De Winter's penalty for handball was a fair one, given very well by the referee. This is a classic example of how when he makes good decisions on the pitch, it makes the VAR's job easier. The penalty was fair."
"I don't see such clear evidence, we're trying to make clear and obvious interventions. I agree with Zufferli, for me it wasn't a foul. Their trajectories crossed."
"Athekame was absolutely fine. We're trying to make it as objective as possible, considering the distance from the goalkeeper and the player who impacts the goalkeeper as"
Leao's goal was judged borderline for offside due to positioning and proximity to the goalkeeper inside the goal area. VAR respected the on-field decision after assessing goalkeeper impact and player placement. The handball on De Winter was confirmed as a fair penalty, with the referee's correct on-field call easing VAR review. Nzola's goal was not overturned because no clear, obvious foul was found and trajectories crossed. Athekame's added-time equaliser was validated after objective assessment of distance and any player impacting the goalkeeper, leaving the goal allowed.
