Referee Federico La Penna could sit out Serie A Week 15 after the controversies during Juventus–Fiorentina on Tuesday.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports the match official could be forced to sit out after the brief Christmas break.
The referee booked Juan Cuadrado for his tackle on Gaetano Castrovilli but was helped by VAR and the decision was inevitable for a straight red, the fifth dismissal Juve had in Serie A this season.
Referee Federico La Penna could sit out Serie A Week 15 after the controversies during Juventus-Fiorentina on Tuesday.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports the match official could be forced to sit out after the brief Christmas break.
The referee booked Juan Cuadrado for his tackle on Gaetano Castrovilli but was helped by VAR and the decision was inevitable for a straight red, the fifth dismissal Juve had in Serie A this season.
But the report points at ‘obvious errors’ from the match, such as a missing second yellow for Borja Valero in the 50th minute for a foul on Rodrigo Bentancur.
There were two potential penalties for the Bianconeri, and in these situations, VAR couldn’t intervene.
First, the newspaper mentions a situation with Gaetano Castrovilli and Cristiano Ronaldo, then an incident between Bartlomiej Dragowski and Federico Bernardeschi.
During this term, Piero Giacomelli, Luigi Nasca, Fabio Maresca and Marco Piccinini have been stopped for one match after Milan–Roma, Inter-Parma and Roma-Sassuolo.
