Gazzetta dello Sport, in its pages today takes stock of Sandro Tonali's incident against Benevento's Ionita. Fabrizio Pasqua shows the Italian young midfielder a yellow card at first, but then he is invited by VAR assistants to watch the footage again and review his decision.
After watching the video, the referee, decides to punish The Rossoneri's young midfielder by giving him a red card for kicking the leg of Benevento's player. Sandro's foot was high in the incident.
It is a doubtful choice, writes the newspaper, and the intervention of VAR was decisive to change the referee's choice. The error from Tonali was not bad but naive. The intervention of VAR was perplexing and doubtful.
Despite playing for the majority of the game with one man down, Stefano Pioli's boys remained in control of the game and won deservedly thanks to goals scored by Franck Kessié and Rafael Leao.
