Torino are enraged following the decision not to award them a penalty after the contact between Andrea Belotti and Andrea Ranocchia in the match against Inter.
The Granata took an early lead in the game, with Gleison Bremer striking home the opener after just 12 minutes. In the 37th minute, Ranocchia threw in a clumsy foot to try and dispossess Belotti in the penalty area and he seemed to strike the Torino talisman’s foot first, before knocking away the ball.
A brief talk with the Video Assistant Referee did not lead to an on-pitch review, leading many to question the work of referee Marco Guida and VAR lead Davide Massa.
Refereeing expert Luca Marelli was not impressed with the decision, saying “This is clearly a penalty. Referee Guida urges Belotti to get back up and points to the ball.
“However, seeing the footage, it is clear that Ranocchia only touched the ball after fouling Belotti. It is a clear penalty and I really expected an on-pitch review.”
