During Open VAR on DAZN, the VAR audio related to Tijjani Reijnders' red card in Milan - Udinese was broadcast.
The VAR official, reviewing the footage, says: "Reijnders cuts him (Lovric) off from behind and catches him with his side. He makes the movement like this."
Chiffi, the on-field referee, says to the players: "If it's not there, we'll take it away."
Meanwhile, the VAR officials continue to discuss the incident while watching various camera angles. The first one continues:
"He (Reijnders) makes the movement. He catches him and passes behind him. He got him, DOGSO (Denial of an Obvious Goal-Scoring Opportunity) confirmed."
Gianluca Rocchi, head of the CAN (Italian Referee Association), commented on the incident live: "If you listen to the VAR discussions, there’s no doubt about the red because all four DOGSO parameters are met at the moment of the whistle. They were reasoning about whether it was a foul. Reijnders makes a fairly natural movement, it's not like he does something drastic."
Rocchi continued to talk about Reijnders' red card:
"There's a leg tangle, and Reijnders is the one behind. We support the on-field decision. We agree on this. The contact is clear from the footage, and the red card is the most logical outcome."
