Rudi Garcia backed goal-line technology, but maintains Roma’s victory over Udinese was not so controversial.
The 1-0 result was decided by a Davide Astori header that might not have entirely crossed the line, while Urby Emanuelson ran a late risk with a tackle on Panagiotis Kone.
“The lads worked well and today earned an important victory,” Garcia told Sky Sport Italia. “We could’ve scored a second goal with the opportunities we created.

The 1-0 result was decided by a Davide Astori header that might not have entirely crossed the line, while Urby Emanuelson ran a late risk with a tackle on Panagiotis Kone.
“The lads worked well and today earned an important victory,” Garcia told Sky Sport Italia. “We could’ve scored a second goal with the opportunities we created.
“I have always said that we need technology to help the referees, as with goal line technology this would not have been an issue.
“Having said that, the goal line referee seemed well placed to see the ball was in. At the end of the day, the referee has the final say.”
However, the goal line official had decided it wasn’t entirely in and was over-ruled by the referee, which only added to the controversy.
“The referee did well throughout the game and on the replays of the penalty incident you can see Urby gets the ball. The referees make judgments, not the Coaches.
“Now we can sit down and watch television tonight.”
Leaders Juventus face Inter in the Derby d’Italia and Roma have temporarily caught them at the top with this result.
