Moviola Milan-Atletico: there is no penalty and Kessie’s expulsion is excessive

Many episodes and Milan damaged by Cakir’s whistles. At 9 ‘Atletico ask for a penalty for the touch of Tomori’s hands: sudden ball, after Kessie’s deviation, and arm in natural position, right not to intervene. For the same reason, the Hermoso-Gimenez carom in the other area on 17 ‘is not punishable. Kessie takes two yellow cards between 15 ‘and 29’, leaving the Rossoneri in ten: the first is for a detention on Llorente (potentially dangerous stop action), the second for an intervention on Llorente, coming in from behind. An ingenuity, but too severe a decision by the Turkish referee, who in the second half will not even whistle a similar foul (stomp) by De Paul on Tonali.

The key episode

—

Admonition spared Suarez in the 70th minute, when he came in late on Maignan’s hands. At 93 ‘the penalty that delivers the three points to Atletico. Cakir mistakenly sees a touch of Kalulu’s arm and points to the puck, more by feeling than by evaluating the dynamics. The Var check confirms, ignoring that the ball hits the AC Milan player after a touch of the hands of the Atletico Lemar player. An action that Cakir had to review on the monitor, but not for the Var Bitigen.
