Milan-Lazio: No grounds for Lazio penalty, say officials | OneFootball

Refereeing decisions continue to spark debate, as in the case of the (non) penalty awarded during Milan-Lazio, which stirred quite a bit of controversy among the ranks of the Biancocelesti, to the point that Società Sportiva Lazio decided not to speak to the sports press microphones after the match.

Milan-Lazio, the technical-refereeing commentary on the penalty not awarded to the Biancocelesti: “There are no grounds to award a penalty”

At the end of the match between Milan and Lazio, DAZN’s technical/refereeing commentator, Luca Marelli, spoke about the much-discussed incident: “Pavlovic’s is never a penalty for three reasons: the players are extremely close to each other, the arm does not move towards the ball, and Pavlovic has his back turned. There are no elements to justify awarding a penalty. Collu and Di Paolo are making things unnecessarily complicated. There is no foul by Marusic on Pavlovic, and the Serbian does not commit a handball. The review was convoluted and technically wrong.”

Today’s edition of “La Gazzetta Dello Sport” also commented on the incident: “The ball kicked by Romagnoli from close range strikes the outstretched elbow (but without any extra movement) of the Milan player. VAR intervenes (a simple check would have sufficed): the arm outside the body is defined as the ‘offspring’ of the Lazio player’s foul. Not a penalty, in any case.”
