Despite the fierce protests from Antonio Conte on the bench, which led to a red card for him, it was a good refereeing performance by Daniele Doveri in Inter-Napoli. The ‘English-style’ refereeing certainly favored the spectacle on the field, even if at the final whistle a few yellow cards were probably missing.
Let’s relive everything with the slow-motion review of Inter-Napoli by La Gazzetta dello Sport: “In the action of the 1-0, Zielinski steals the ball from McTominay, who brings him down: Doveri plays the advantage but misses the yellow card for the Scotsman. In the 13th minute, Thuram gains the advantage over Juan Jesus on the edge of the box but is stopped with a foul: no whistle or yellow card. A few minutes later, another clash between Juan Jesus and Thuram, high foot on the chest of the Inter player but a normal game collision. There is a penalty for Inter (called by VAR Di Bello): Rrahmani steps on Mkhitaryan’s foot (yellow card missing).”
