Overview

• At Perugia’s Renato Curi, Guidonia coach Ciro Ginestra triggered an FVS check for a possible Giraudo handball, and referee Zuppi awarded a penalty that Bernardotto had saved by Perugia goalkeeper Gemello.
• In Livorno–Ternana, Fabio Liverani asked for a red card on review, but referee Gianquinto kept Livorno’s Mawete on a yellow, costing Ternana one of its challenges.
• The system, described as Var a chiamata, enables coach-requested on-field reviews routed through the fourth official to video analysis.
• Serie C opened its season on August 22 with the first in-match uses of FVS across multiple fixtures as the trial phase begins.
• Coverage notes the trial is being evaluated for possible future use in Italy’s top division.
