Clarifying VAR Rules

I’ll summarize the rules around VAR and possibly ask if they want a video or detailed explanation. There’s no need to run shell commands or browse the network.

VAR can check penalties, and if the attacking team commits a foul earlier in the attacking phase, subsequent penalties can be annulled. I’m trying to make sense of the situation involving Marusic and Pavlovic, and the implications if Lazio committed a foul. If Milan deserved a penalty, it usually relates back to an earlier foul by them.Understanding the Foul Sequence

The text indicates that Marusic fouled Pavlovic, which usually means Milan would get a free-kick if Pavlovic is a Milan player. This situation gets confusing with the question of a penalty for Lazio. It seems what might have happened is that Marusic's foul occurred before the ball entered the box, leading to a free-kick for Milan instead of a penalty for Lazio. VAR likely checked and confirmed Marusic’s foul, nullifying the penalty claim.Explaining the VAR Decision

I can explain that VAR identified a prior foul during the attacking phase, leading to no penalty and a free-kick for Milan. Laws 5 and 12 state that an advantage isn't applied when there’s an earlier infringement. I’ll keep it concise and provide a bullet-point explanation.

I should ask the user if they want a full breakdown, including specifics or just this summary. I might also include possible timelines for clarity. So, here’s what I can say: at the end of the match, there was a foul by Lazio's Marusic on Milan's Simic, which led to the VAR review.Clarifying the Foul Sequence

To avoid confusion with the name “Pavlovic,” I’ll mention the earlier foul by Marusic without naming his team.

I can explain that VAR protocol allows a review of the attacking phase of play (APP). If an attacking foul occurs by the team about to receive a penalty, the incident is disallowed. Therefore, the outcome is no penalty, and a free-kick is awarded to the team that was fouled.

If the user wants clips or official audio from Serie A, I can ask if they need a link, though I won’t access the network myself. I’ll keep it crisp and clear.Summarizing the Incident

The penalty was not awarded because Marusic committed an attacking foul on Pavlovic earlier in the attacking phase. This led VAR to intervene, determining that the correct restart was a defensive free kick, not a penalty for Lazio.

This adheres to IFAB protocols, allowing VAR to address fouls back to the start of the attacking phase. The user seems to be giving a reason for the incident, so I might summarize it as: "In the Milan vs. Lazio match, the penalty was not awarded due to Marusic's foul on Pavlovic."
