Salernitana coach Davide Nicola praised the VAR.
“We are very satisfied with the performance we put in and it would’ve been very disappointing to leave empty-handed,” Nicola said. “VAR proves this sport has credibility. From the moment that the player who is offside tries to reach the ball, he is interfering with play.”
