The referee didn’t award Milan a spot-kick in the final minutes of their 1-0 home defeat against Napoli, causing Theo Hernandez and Gigio Donnarumma’s anger.
Pasqua didn’t award the penalty kick after a VAR check and La Gazzetta dello Sport wrote it was a surprising decision.
“There was contact between Theo and Tiemoue Bakayoko, but it seemed more like a penalty on the TV rather than on the pitch,” wrote La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The paper analysed the presumed foul on the French left-back could not be considered a “serious missed incident,” therefore, it was surprising Pasqua was told to have a VAR check in the first place.
However, once Pasqua saw the foul on the screen, it was surprising he didn’t award the penalty kick.
As per Il Corriere dello Sport, Pasqua saw the contact, but he judged him not severe to cause the defender’s fall.
Theo Hernandez committed a harsh foul on Victor Osimhen after the penalty incident and according to Tuttosport, the Frenchman should have seen red.
