Fenerbahçe-Roma 1-1: VAR Correctly Overturns Penalty Decision for Roma

September 11, 2026Pablo Navarro1 мин

Vocegiallorossa.it presents a review of specific incidents from the Fenerbahçe vs. Roma match. The referee, with the assistance of the VAR (video assistant referee), can intervene in four types of situations: checking the regularity of goals, potential penalty fouls, potential direct red cards, and mistaken identity for disciplinary actions.

SECOND HALF

70' - Roma is initially awarded a penalty for a foul by Akturkoglu on Dybala. However, the VAR correctly intervenes to change the referee's decision, as the contact occurred outside the penalty area.

FIRST HALF

31' - The VAR intervenes to overturn the referee's decision to award a corner kick to Roma, instead granting a goal kick to Fenerbahçe. It's important to note that VAR can only intervene on corners in cases of clear and obvious errors, and in this instance, there was no such error.
