(Source: Reuters)The opening match in Serie A also produced the first decision from video review on Saturday. The Video Assistant Referee awarded a penalty to Cagliari but Diego Farias’ effort was saved by Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and the Bianconeri went on to win 3-0. This is the first season that Serie A has introduced video technology, and it got its first use at the end of the first half. Buffon saved Farias’ penalty and Juventus doubled its lead in first-half stoppage time when Dybala controlled Miralem Pjanic’s ball over the top and fired it home. Substitute Giampaolo Pazzini, who was the top goal-scorer in the second division last season, converted the resulting penalty.
