Despite the victory obtained at Cagliari‘s home, Saturday’s game was not the best performance of the season for Atalanta. The team coached by Gian Piero Gasperini won by a narrow margin, also thanks to the great saves made by an outstanding Carnesecchi.
In addition to the numerous risks run throughout the match against a dangerous and orderly Cagliari, Atalanta was spared by the referee and the Var room for not awarding a penalty for an evident hand touch by Kossounou. As admitted on Open Var by Dazn‘s CAN member Mauro Tonolini, Cagliari deserved the penalty kick.
Here’s the analysis of the incident: Unfortunately, here I have to talk about a mistake, a mistake from the field and from the Var room because the attitude Kossounou opposes Deiola’s cross is a punishable attitude. His arm is already high above the shoulder line even before the start of Deiola’s cross, he takes a risk and then hits the ball in a penalty situation.
