Penalty drama Milan v Fiorentina: will Rocchi act after San Siro? | OneFootball

The penalty awarded to Milan in the match against Fiorentina continues to generate controversy and debates in the refereeing and sports world. All attention is now focused on Gianluca Rocchi, the head of CAN A, who will soon have to express his official position on the events at San Siro.

Penalty in Milan-Fiorentina, anticipation for Marinelli and Abisso: what will Rocchi decide after the San Siro episode

The contested episode concerns the contact in the area between Parisi and Gimenez, which led referee Livio Marinelli to award a penalty to the Rossoneri after being called to the monitor by VAR Rosario Abisso for an on-field review.

According to sources close to the AIA, during the afternoon episode of “Open VAR,” the case will be analyzed in detail to clarify whether the decision made should be considered correct or not. The goal is to determine whether Marinelli and Abisso will be cleared or temporarily suspended for the upcoming matches.

At the moment, the first rumors seem to exclude severe measures: Rocchi and his team are not expected to suspend the two referees, but they might draw attention to Gimenez's behavior, deemed excessive in the dynamics of the contact that led to the penalty.

As some internal sources explain, in the event of a negative assessment by the AIA, the sanction would still be mild: it would involve a short suspension, limited to one or two Serie A matches, before a possible return of the two referees—perhaps with reversed roles—the following weekend.

The incident confirms how complex the relationship between VAR, refereeing decisions, and interpretation of contact still is, especially in borderline situations like the one at San Siro, where the dynamics can easily lead to mistakes.
