The recent use of VAR has sparked controversy during the Parma-Monza match, which was refereed by La Penna. In the 75th minute, the referee awarded Parma a penalty for contact in the penalty area, but the situation escalated into a misunderstanding. La Penna blew his whistle and allowed Benedyczak to shoot and score the goal that temporarily made it 2-0, but in the meantime, VAR officials called the referee back to review the incident.
After a check that lasted more than 30 seconds, La Penna realized that the shirt hold was exaggerated and decided to cancel the penalty. This sequence of events sparked hilarity among those present, highlighting the uncertainties related to the use of technology in football. Despite the climate of confusion, Parma managed to win at the last second, avoiding further complications. La Penna thus started what has been called the "farce of the VAR", a situation that continues to repeat itself in the world of football.
The VAR has led to a lot of chaos, especially in the Parma-Monza match, where the referee La Penna whistled and then called again. It's strange that in a game there is so much confusion over a penalty.
