Controversy, Chaos and VAR protocol: what happened in Empoli vs. Milan

The first incident occurred only a few minutes in the match at Stadio Castellani, when Cacace and Walker were Both in complete stretching to reach the loose ball when they connected strongly.

While the fixed image makes it look horrible from Cacace, catching Walker on the side of the spin, Var decided not to intervene after a long evaluation.

Dazn’s arbitration expert Luca Marelli, gave her verdict on the situation and agreed that, although Cacace should have received a yellow card and was “at the limit”, this did not guarantee a red card.

This is because there was no real ‘period’ for the Tackle, which made it less dangerous, and Walker’s leg was also low on the ground to make the challenge less ‘high’ in the leg.

However, there was an even more controversial situation in 55 minutes when Tomori received a second yellow card to tear Lorenzo Colombo.

The defender of Milan would have been rescued by the Flag offside, but the line player did not raise it and did not allow VAR to intervene because the The protocol prohibits them from participating with crimes of yellow cards.

If a penalty had been granted and there was an out of the game in accumulation, then Var could have intervened, but not by a reserve.

Var intervened 10 minutes later to show that Luca Marianucci reacted to a push from Santiago Giménez looking over his shoulder, moving a boot and intentionally trapping the striker in the crotch.

Giménez was reserved for provocation and Marianucci showed a straight red card for the lack of reaction.
