Serie A, the slow motion of Atalanta-Fiorentina and Napoli-Juve: decisive Var

The moviola of Napoli-Juventus and Atalanta-Fiorentina.

ATALANTA-FIORENTINA

—

An evening full of episodes for Marini. At 11 ‘Djimsiti scores in the scrum, but the Var calls the referee to the monitor. It is up to the referee, in fact, to evaluate the offside position of Zapata who jumps missing the ball by a few centimeters, however impacting on the development of the action that leads to the goal. Correct cancel. At 30 ‘the first penalty for Fiorentina, again suggested by the Var: on Vlahovic’s cross, Sportiello smanaccia and the ball is hit with the arm by Maehle. Sudden deviation? Ok, but the movement of the Dane is punishable, because it is the arm that “seeks” the ball, opening after the touch of the goalkeeper. The second penalty for Viola is also clear, again with the intervention of the Var: Djimsiti out of time extends Bonaventura. The one for Atalanta is also correct, because Callejon is anticipated by Gosens and touches him on the foot from behind. Only one real doubt in the 47th minute when Bonaventura widens his elbow on Maehle: Marini draws the yellow, but the red would not have been madness. On the contrary…

NAPLES-JUVENTUS

—

Season debut for Irrati, in his 131st match in A. The most relevant episode in which the referee proves to have the game in hand takes place on 33 ‘, when a chest-back contact in the area between Chiellini and Osimhen can leave doubts. : instead, the referee rightly considers it mild (he mimes it, explaining it, even to the Napoli players) and the stomp that the Juventus defender gives to the Napoli striker (shown by Osimhen almost “barefoot”) occurs in an involuntary manner, proof of this is that both are watching the ball, the development of the action. The contact between the two protagonists – like one between Bonucci and Osimhen himself (at 3 ‘st, dynamics and intensity under control) – also occurs in the second half: situation in the norm, contrast within the regulation. A match that could have had some difficult peaks to manage was controlled quite well, even for two right signals from the assistants: at 23 ‘pt, for example, a goal opportunity by Kulusevski (later neutralized by Ospina) is stopped for offside in reception of Morata. The only ones missing are three yellow ones: Rabiot’s wide arm (38 ‘pt) on Politano but also Kulusevski’s leg that hits the opponent Anguissa five minutes earlier. Irrati also escapes Pellegrini who pulls the shirt at Politano but the other warnings are correct: those concerning Elmas (30 ‘pt, foul on Kulusevski), Locatelli (45’ pt, entry on Anguissa) and Lozano who irregularly blocks a counter-attack by Chiellini. Adjust Koulibaly’s goal “facilitated” by Kean.
