Napoli v Como: Luca Marelli says penalty decision was correct | OneFootball

The former referee and current DAZN commentator, Luca Marelli, analyzed one of the key episodes of the draw between Napoli and Como in the post-match discussion. Specifically, the penalty awarded to the Larians by referee Zufferli for the contact between Milinkovic-Savic and Morata. “It was the only truly significant episode of the match. There were a few too many whistles overall, but Zufferli is young and can improve in foul selection. In this circumstance, the attacker clearly anticipates the goalkeeper: Milinkovic-Savic does not find the ball, but the legs of Morata.” Marelli then clarified the technical details related to the VAR check and the disciplinary decision: “The check was conducted only to verify a possible offside, not for the contact. The awarding of the penalty is correct, as is the decision not to book the Napoli goalkeeper: the ball, in fact, goes outward, which decriminalizes the intervention.” A clear and non-controversial analysis by Marelli, confirming the soundness of the referee's decision in a balanced and hard-fought match until the end.
