The Gazzetta dello Sport analyzed the slow motion episodes of Cagliari-Milan. Referee Abisso last night was criticized for penalties and cards in Sardinia.
There was no lack of controversy over the refereeing of Rosario Abisso in Cagliari-Milan 0-2 . There are some episodes that have created discussions.
The newspaper takes stock of the match incidents in today's edition: The start is with Lykogiannis' foul in the penalty area on Ibrahimovic at minute 5' with a consequent penalty kick. The push of the Greek full-back is there, the referee's judgment counts on the intensity of the contact and for this reason the VAR would not have intervened in case of a missed whistle of the penalty.
For that same reason, VAR does not intervene in the 82nd minute, when there is the contact Sottil-Brahim Diaz in the Milan area and Cagliari asks for the penalty. Perhaps it was for Abisso that the Rossoblu player also used his hands to help himself, clinging to his opponent's shirt.
Excessive yellow card shown to Alessio Romagnoli at the 39th minute. It was correct to call the foul on Joao Pedro, but the warning is a wrong measure. Due to this card, Milan's captain is set to miss the game against Atalanta on Saturday.
Saelemaekers was naive with his fouls and received two yellow cards, he had to be more careful.
