The Genoa players try to ruin the spot before the execution of the Biancoceleste captain, who goes to scold Ecuban, perhaps by mistake. The precedent against Milan had led to Stanciu’s error at San Siro, again in injury time
Attempt failed. It was the 98th minute of Lazio-Genoa, the score was still 2-2. Zufferli, helped by VAR, had just awarded a penalty to the Biancocelesti. Cataldi on the spot, but shortly before Cornet had tried to ruin the serving point. The Genoa player had in fact dug a small hole on the spot, but did not mislead his opponent: 3-2 for Lazio. Shortly before, Cataldi himself, having noticed the attempt, had gone to complain to the referee, however taking it out on the wrong player: he had in fact blamed Ekuban who, for his part, had professed his complete innocence.
THE PRECEDENT
—
Cornet, on the other hand, was inspired only a few weeks ago, during the match against Milan: Genoa had in fact just been awarded a penalty, when Pavlovic, taking advantage of the ongoing discussions, plowed the spot, passing it four times with his left foot and twice with his right, also receiving a yellow card. In that case, however, Stanciu then wasted the penalty by shooting it into the corner. Cornet tried to generate a déjà vubut this time the epilogue was different.
