With Verona ahead, on the provisional score of 1-2, the Danish striker touched the ball with his right hand: his reaction to the referee’s decision was angry
Exactly half an hour into the second half, at the Maradona, with the score 2-1 in favor of Verona, Hojlund scored to score the potential equalizer for Conte’s team. Referee Marchetti, however, after having validated the goal, was called back by the VAR, ultimately deciding to annul the goal. On Politano’s cross from the left, Hojlund forcefully freed himself from Bella-Kotchap, but trying to control the ball with his chest, he touched it with his right hand. A correct decision, to cancel the goal, but which caused the Dane to react furiously.
