Verona v Juve, VAR official sidelined: Aureliano rested after controversy | OneFootball

The refereeing controversies of Verona-Juventus have already had their first consequences. Following the disputed performance of Antonio Rapuano, who will be assigned to officiate only Serie B matches for a few weeks, there is also a halt for Gianluca Aureliano, the VAR official at Bentegodi.

Verona-Juve, VAR also stopped: Aureliano resting after the controversy

Juventus, Tudor explodes after the draw with Verona: "Shameful penalty, missed red to Orban. Unacceptable schedule"

Verona-Juventus, referee Rapuano "relegated" to Serie B after the controversy

The case: penalty to Verona and non-expulsion of Orban

The incidents under accusation are two:

the penalty awarded to Verona for an alleged handball by Joao Mario;

the non-expulsion of Orban, judged excessively permissive by several TV replays.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the judgment is heavily influenced by Aureliano's decision to call Rapuano for an On Field Review for the penalty then awarded, an incident that in reality would not have been punishable according to all the main TV replay analysts.

Aureliano stopped: possible relocation

Aureliano should observe at least one rest turn, but a more severe decision is not to be excluded, with the risk of a relocation similar to that suffered by Fabbri after Milan-Bologna, when he had not corrected Marcenaro on the Lucumi-Nkunku incident.

Refereeing management under observation

The incident confirms that the management of VAR is still at the center of the football debate. The AIA seems intent on sending clear signals: errors considered serious or decisive can have immediate consequences, both for the referees on the field and for those in charge in the VAR room.
