The postponement between Inter e Veneziaon stage at San Siro at 8.45pmcloses on Sundayeleventh matchday of Serie A. Below are the most discussed refereeing episodes, analyzed in slow motion by Calciomercato.com:
Inter-Venice at 8.45pm
Referee: Ferrieri Caputi from Livorno
Assistants: Prenna and Cavallina
Fourth Officer: Tremolada
PRESENT: Marini
AVAR: Chiffi
98′ – Incredible at San Siro, Venezia equalises but VAR disallows the goal once the match is over. At the last lunge Sverko arrives at Haps’s cross, jumping on Bisseck and mocking Sommer: Ferrieri Caputi awards the goal, but VAR states the touch of the hand, with the wrist (photo Dazn)and the goal is disallowed after the referee’s final whistle. However, there didn’t seem to be a foul by the Croatian on the German. On Dazn, former referee Luca Marelli commented: “Not even Sverko notices, initially he doesn’t even notice the goal. There would still have been discussion about the jump against Bisseck, but there is the touch of the hand that removes any doubt. The goal cannot be validated because the touch happens immediately: immediately afterwards there was a double touch, first by Sverko and then by Bisseck.
It was canceled without on field review, because it is an objective evaluation. You cannot touch it with your hand and immediately score a goal, regardless of your will. It’s not a network.”
In the studio, Marelli is asked if the touch should be clear and evident: “The images certify it – replies Marelli – you can actually see the hand moving upon contact with the ball. I also had to watch it several times, but from the rear door you can see it well and it’s a clear image.”
80′ – Stankovic saves from Thuram’s header, the ball reaches Taremi who shoots incredibly high, but with a previous touch from Sverko: VAR calls Ferrieri Caputi to report the Frenchman’s offside.
51′- Inter’s advantage canceled out by Mkhitaryan with VAR. Ball from Bastoni on the left for Dimarco, cross into the middle for the onrushing Armenian, who flatly beats Stankovic. However, the Italian winger started from an offside position, recognized by VAR
40′ – Zielinski is missing a yellow card for a tactical foul on Venezia’s restart.
31′ – Yellow for Pavard, who comes in sprawled on Pohjanpalo: the right card.
15′ – Haps, after contact with Dumfries, strikes clearly with his hand in his own area: Ferrieri Caputi whistles for a foul against the Dutchman, the Nerazzurri wanted the penalty.
Inter vs. Venezia: A Referee’s Nightmare or Just Another Day at San Siro?
Ah, the beautiful game! Where the only thing more unpredictable than a last-minute equalizer is the referee’s decision-making process. You know, if I had a euro for every time a referee sparked outrage this season, I could probably buy the Serie A title myself! But let’s dive into the recent tumultuous clash between Inter and Venezia held at the iconic San Siro.
A Match of Controversies
The game kicked off, and what followed was a masterclass in VAR-induced chaos. Referee Ferrieri Caputi was under the spotlight, and let me tell you, he was shining bright! Especially during the nerve-racking moments that had fans crying out for penalties, while others rolled their eyes as they furiously waved their arms at the TV screen.
98 Minutes of “Hold the Phone!”
Picture this: it’s the 98th minute, a last gasp to salvage a point, and Sverko slots one in! The crowd goes wild—until the VAR intervenes, pulling the emergency brake like a kid in a candy store finding out he can’t have a fourth lollipop. Somehow, Sverko’s sneakiness wasn’t enough to cover up that oh-so-laudable “touch” of the hand—and when I say touch, I mean a touch that could have been easily mistaken for a gentle pat on the back. The former referee, Luca Marelli, said it best: “Not even Sverko notices!” Talk about a dramatic scene; I half expected him to start doing his best impression of ‘I love the 90s’ and pretend it never happened!
VAR Trouble for Stankovic
Moving along to 80 minutes, Thuram gets a header that could have brought the house down, but it’s Taremi who inexplicably shoots over the bar—like a bad first date where the only thing that comes close is a breathless “I’ll call you.” Of course, the VAR had to spoil the party once again by deciding that the Frenchman was offside. Honestly, if VAR were a friend, it would be that one who always points out awkward moments at parties! “Oh, remember that time you tried to impress someone with a smooth move, but ended up tripping on your own feet?” Yes, VAR, you’re a real gem!
Flash Back to Mkhitaryan
Then we rewind to the 51st minute; Mkhitaryan scores! Cue the celebration; lights fade, drinks flow, and then – BAM! VAR strikes again, and guess what? He was offside. What’s next? A sticker on the players saying, “Please keep your feet in bounds; thank you for participating!” Honestly, it’s a miracle any player remembers what position they’re supposed to be in!
The Dreaded Handball Debate
Oh, and who could forget the drama of the 15th minute? Dumfries boldly charges into the area, only to have Haps swat at him like a fly on a hot day! Cue the screams from the Inter fans demanding a penalty, and whispers of conspiracy! “Did he touch? Is this the plot twist of the season?!” Far too much excitement for a single match—and we haven’t even cracked 90 minutes!
Wrapping Up The Chaos
So there you have it, folks: a match riddled with more ups and downs than a roller coaster parked at Gardaland. Inter vs. Venezia was not just a game; it was a three-part miniseries full of towering hopes, shattered dreams, and a referee looking like he just walked through a cheese grater.
As we look at the aftermath, one question remains: Is VAR going to save football or lead us to an endless cycle of controversies? That, my friends, is the eternal question—as everlasting as Cristiano’s right foot or Lionel’s left!
Final Thoughts
Let’s toast to the farce we call football, the drama that keeps our hearts racing, and to every referee out there who keeps us entertained—whether they mean to or not! Here’s to the next game! And remember, keep your hands to yourself unless you want a ticket to VAR-land! Cheers!

Inter-Venice, MOVIOLA LIVE: Dumfries asks for a penalty
The postponement between Inter and Venezia, held at the iconic San Siro, took place at 8:45 PM, marking the conclusion of the eleventh matchday of Serie A. Below are the key refereeing incidents that stirred much debate, as meticulously analyzed in slow motion by Calciomercato.com:
Inter-Venice at 8:45 PM
Referee: Ferrieri Caputi from Livorno
Assistants: Prenna and Cavallina
Fourth Official: Tremolada
PRESENT: Marini
AVAR: Chiffi
98′ – Incredible drama at San Siro as Venezia equalises, but VAR invalidates the goal after the final whistle. Sverko arrived at Haps’s cross, managing to evade Bisseck and deceive goalkeeper Sommer, leading to a goal initially awarded by Ferrieri Caputi. However, VAR intervened, citing a touch with the wrist, resulting in the disallowance of the goal post-final whistle. The incident drew attention as many contested whether there was a foul by the Croatian on the German player. Former referee Luca Marelli commented on Dazn: “Not even Sverko noticed; he didn’t realize initially that a goal had occurred. While there could be discussion about the jump against Bisseck, the handball negates any uncertainty surrounding the goal. The touch is immediate, followed closely by a double touch, first by Sverko and then by Bisseck.”
80′ – There was a pivotal moment when Stankovic thwarted a powerful header from Thuram, but the ball fell dangerously to Taremi, who missed the opportunity, firing way over the bar, despite an earlier touch from Sverko. VAR was called into play to confirm the Frenchman was in an offside position.
51′ – Inter’s first goal, scored by Mkhitaryan, was nullified by VAR. A well-anticipated pass from Bastoni found Dimarco, whose cross set up Mkhitaryan perfectly. The Armenian finished decisively past Stankovic but was adjudged to be offside, per VAR’s ruling.
40′ – Zielinski deserved a yellow card for a tactical foul committed during Venezia’s swift counterattack, but the referee remarkably overlooked this infringement.
31′ – Pavard received a yellow card for a robust challenge on Pohjanpalo, a decision recognized as correct by most.
15′ – Dumfries was clearly obstructed in the area after a contact with Haps, leading to Ferrieri Caputi awarding a foul, as the Nerazzurri vocally sought a penalty, signaling their frustration.
VAR rules
A dramatic goal that sent the visitors into a frenzy. However, after a lengthy VAR review, it was determined that Sverko had handled the ball prior to scoring, leading to the goal being disallowed. Fans were left in disbelief, with many arguing that the officiating had once again swung the game in favor of the home side.
80′ – Potential penance—no penalty awarded for Inter’s appeal. Inter’s claims for a penalty when **Thuram** was judged to have been fouled in the box were denied by Caputi, who ruled that there was no infringement. Supporters were outraged, discussing the incident in the stands, while questioning the consistency of officiating throughout the match.
51’ – Mkhitaryan’s celebration cut short. Following a well-executed play, Mkhitaryan found the net with a curling effort that seemed to ignite the game. Yet, a review by VAR revealed an offside, bringing the celebrations to an abrupt halt and sending players and fans alike crashing back to reality—not to mention igniting more debate about the efficacy of VAR once again.
15′ - The handball incident that had fans shouting. Dumfries’s charge into the box saw him brought down by Haps, leading to a chorus of near-penalty cries from the home supporters. Referee Caputi’s decision to not award the penalty maintained the tension but left many wondering about the criteria used for such crucial calls.
Conclusion
the bitterness and thrill of the match between Inter and Venezia left fans with a lot to discuss. Referee Ferrieri Caputi’s performance, critiqued both positively and negatively, will certainly be a hot topic of debate among the Serie A fanbase. The introduction of VAR has indeed transformed the landscape of football officiating—it has added a layer of scrutiny, but at the cost of spontaneity and some of football’s magic. It’s clear that while technology aims to improve accuracy, it also introduces new elements of contention that fans are still grappling with.
As we look ahead, let’s remain hopeful that the beautiful game continues to provide us with captivating moments, whether they’re marred by controversy or celebrated in triumph. Here’s to the next clash—and may we enjoy every whistle, card, and goal it brings!
