The UEFA explained the controversial decision ensuring that "the referee identified that Tadic, mate of team (of Tagliafico), was in position of offside and interfered to the goalkeeper, preventing him play or can play the balloon while it made the head butt. This was on line with the protocol VAR, by what the goal cancelled properly and decreed a free direct by the offside".
