The referee headed to the sidelines to check the replay of the goal on the monitor while the Uventus players waited on the field expectantly in a tense mood.
They weren't the only ones either as everyone else in the stadium could feel the tension and knew what the referee's final decision would mean to the game.
If the goal was allowed, then Uventus would at least manage to take one point home after all their efforts and if the goal was disallowed, the Napoli would be the only winners after a hard fought battle to stay in front.
Every eye in the stadium was on the referee as he looked at the monitor and the referee could feel the eyes on his back despite not facing them directly, but he didn't let that affect him as he did his job.
Watching the replay, the referee saw what the assistant referee was referring to as offside.
