It was not a positive match last night between Inter-Lazio from a refereeing point of view. As reported by the review in the Corriere dello Sport, in fact, the performance of the referee Gianluca Manganiello was considered below average, especially for some decisions from a disciplinary point of view.
This is the rating given to the referee: “Manganiello’s match was not sufficient, especially from a disciplinary point of view: the standard of judgment was not consistent, and even from a technical point of view, something was left to be desired. Fortunately, the VAR showed him Dimarco’s handball on the 3-0 goal. In short, a step back for him as well. Not good news.”
Below is the review of Inter-Lazio:
ZIELINSKI GOAL – “Dimarco’s wide left hand touches the ball in the APP on the 3-0 goal: Manganiello doesn’t notice, but the VAR does: OFR and disallowed.”
NO PENALTIES – “Dumfries goes down in the area, letting himself fall before Marusic makes contact: the offside cancels everything, it would have been simulation. Cataldi, watching the ball, moves backward and touches Sucic from behind, who lets himself fall: Manganiello is in control and signals that there is nothing, the VAR supports.”
DISCIPLINARY – “The disciplinary aspect was not sufficient: yellow cards were definitely missing for Lautaro (late kick on Zaccagni), Marusic (same situation, on Dumfries) and Çalhanoglu (on Dia, scissor tackle, other types of yellow cards do not apply). And then, for everyone: Carlos Augusto holds Zaccagni for a prolonged and blatant period, Manganiello only whistles for a foul without the necessary yellow card, Zaccagni (rightly) protests, yellow card for him.”
