On 23 February, during the UEFA Conference League match between Fiorentina and Sporting Braga, VAR had cancelled a goal by Cabral, despite the Goal-Line Technology having signaled the ball crossed the goal line. Roberto Rosetti, head of UEFA referees, clarified the situation during the Premio Salvetti event at Coverciano: "It would have been better if the VAR had not intervened".
Speaking about the cancellation of Cabral’s goal following VAR review, Rosetti said: “During the match Fiorentina-Braga there was an extremely complicated, borderline situation. The Goal-Line Technology signaled the ball crossed the goal line by 2 millimeters. But the VAR, after checking the images (correct procedure by the protocol) was not convinced by the correctness of the decision and intervened. The images themselves were not so clear, so the conclusion is that it would have been better for the VAR not to intervene". Roberto Rosetti, attended Premio Salvetti, named after the meritorious referee Ferruccio Salvetti and awarded to important personalities from the refereeing world and sport. In addition to Rosetti, current Serie A referee designator Gianluca Rocchi and former referee Paolo Casarin attended the award ceremony.
