Juve-Naples, slow motion: Gatti on Kvara, Di Maria’s goal disallowed and Cuadrado down in the area

The referee Fabbri and the Var Aureliano caused discussion. Here are the most discussed moments of Juve-Napoli

There are several episodes that deserve to be seen to evaluate referee Fabbri’s performance in Juventus-Naples. In particular the contact between Gatti and Kvaratskhelia which was worth a red.

No Var for Gatti

The “raptus”, highlighted by the facial expression and for which he will apologize: but Gatti’s energetic slap on the side of Kvara’s face would have deserved the sanction. Minute 30 pts, tackle outside the area, ball already far away and the black and white throws a “manatona” (not punch) at Kvara: it is still violent conduct, and if Fabbri does not notice anything, the Var should have remedied by calling the referee to the “OFR”. Violent conduct – hitting or attempting to hit – calls for expulsion.

Goals disallowed

Di Maria’s advantage in the 37th minute: everything was spoiled by a foul by Milik on Lobotka at the start of the action. And here the Var (Aureliano) intervenes and heals: goal rightly taken away. Another goal disallowed for Juve in the 90th minute: the ball crossed by Chiesa is over the goal line

The Fall of Quadrado

Before the 0-1, in the 93rd minute, Cuadrado goes down into the area after a swerve. It is the black and white that strikes Juan Jesus.

One yellow more, one less

Excessive yellow in Locatelli (23′ pt). Missing the one for Juan Jesus on Milik (41′ pt)
