In the match of the fourteenth round of the Italian championship Lazio - Fiorentina, the referee pointed to the "point" in the compensated time only after viewing the video replay.

Great honor of Sunday matches of the fourteenth round of the Italian championship ended in a draw. Did not depart from the common tradition and Lazio with Fiorentina.

Both teams were not very similar to themselves. And if the guests were not recognized because of the green form (the usual violet color was only a sweater from coach Stefano Pioli), then the owners something happened to the game. Opening the scoring in the middle of the first half, Lazio attacked somehow reluctantly, by inertia. It seemed that the Romans did it not so much to score more, but in order that the Florentines had less time to organize their own offensive actions.

Fiorentina had more effort, but the skill is clearly smaller, and the hosts would not have made it difficult to bring the match to victory, as a few hours before this Napoli in a very similar in its scenario match against Udinese. However, already in compensated time, the defender of the "violets" rushed to the penalty area, Pescela accidentally got a leg from an opponent who did not even see him and did his best to convince the referee that his injury was almost incompatible with life.

The referee hesitated and decided to turn to the video-replay system, and the fact that he studied the episode for quite a long time indicated its ambiguity. And yet the decision was made in favor of the guests, and Babakar from the "point" skillfully spread Strakosha and the ball at different angles.
