The referee makes a mistake, Spezia celebrates and so Milan remains behind Inter

by admin

No advantage rule, goal canceled in the final, the Ligurians in the 96th minute then make the shot by drawing a joker in a key to salvation

MILANO

Everything happens at San Siro. Milan-Spezia is a game destined to spark rivers of controversy, but that the Rossoneri, after taking the lead, are unable to win. Milan wastes the chance to overtake Inter and sees Napoli dangerously close to just two points. The goal by Leao, the best in the field in Pioli’s team, weighs yet another wrong penalty – procured by the unstoppable Portuguese – with Theo Hernandez’s mistake from the spot. The Rossoneri defense is also wrong on par with Agudelo. And the referee Serra is also wrong, in full recovery who does not give the advantage to Milan, nullifying Messias’ goal and interrupting the game. At the last second available, then, La Spezia restarts and the 2-1 signed by Gyasi arrives with the time now expired.

The protests of the few Rossoneri fans present at San Siro were inevitable. But Milan had to close the game first, the stake was the top of Serie A and more cynicism is needed. Instead Spezia resists the assaults of Pioli’s team thanks to an extraordinary performance by Provedel which is a wall on Ibrahimovic, especially in the final minutes. In the evening of his 150 appearances for the Milan shirt, the Swede misses the goal. To make the difference is Leao who first gets the penalty, sensing an uncertainty of the Ligurian goalkeeper about a back pass from the sideline. Provedel landslide on the Portuguese, the referee gives a foul in attack but the Var calls him to review the images and the penalty is granted. Theo misses a minute later but Leao is still decisive: Krunic’s long ball, also favored by Nikolau’s error, and the Portuguese burns three opponents by kicking at goal with a lob.

In the second half Provedel is overcome and rejects on Saelemaekers. The game, however, is not over. Thiago Motta’s team raises the pace and center of gravity. First Maignan saves on Amian then the Rossoneri goalkeeper can do nothing at 19 ‘on the conclusion of Agudelo, who has just entered. Green’s cross in the center is perfect, Kalulu misses the timing this time and the goal revitalizes the Ligurians. Pioli runs for cover, recalls Brahim Diaz still unsatisfactory and throws Giroud into the fray for the last twenty minutes of the game. A 4-4-2 with Ibra-Giroud in attack to try to double. But it is Spezia to earn the clearest chances for the advantage with Aduelo and Kovalenko, two substitutes. Then, in the 47th minute, a sensational error by the referee who did not give Milan the advantage and whistled a foul on Rebic stopping the game, while Messias kicks in the goal and scoring.

The last seconds are of fire: Ibra on a free kick forces Provedel to deviate in diving, then somehow neutralizes the header dellos vese over the crossbar. And in the 51st minute, after five minutes of recovery, Spezia’s counterattack and Gyasi’s goal. “I tried to calm the boys down, but I couldn’t. We knew we had been wronged and we lost lucidity », Stefano Pioli recounts in the heat of the moment. “The responsibilities are to be shared with the referee who apologized to us.” –
