Turin, there is an open account against Frosinone: so many refereeing errors against us

On Sunday it will be Turin-Frosinone again: in the two previous matches this season the Granata were penalized twice by the referees

On Sunday afternoon Torino will challenge the Frosinone by Eusebio Di Francesco. In fact, the two teams met not only in the first leg of the championship, but also in the round of 32 of the Italian Cup. The balance so far is in favor of the Ciociari, who in addition to the home draw in the Serie A match also had the upper hand in the Cup, passing the round after 120 minutes. In both challenges, however, the hand of the referees it had a negative impact on Juric’s team.

Torino penalized twice

The most striking episode dates back to the Cup match, specifically in extra time. With regulation time ending 1-1, Buongiorno and his teammates had started the extra time very well, playing in a very offensive way. Right in an attacking action Demba Seck he was brought down inside the penalty area by an opposing defender, but neither “live” nor after the VAR consultation did the match director in that case award the clear penalty at Toro, with Frosinone then scoring the winning goal a few minutes later. The other precedent, however, dates back to the championship match, which was also heavily conditioned. In that case in the opening minutes of the match the yellow-blue defender Oyono he committed two yellow fouls a few seconds apart, but received them a single card. In the event of a red card (after 9 minutes) the game would certainly have changed, while the reality of the facts allowed Di Francesco to play with numerical parity for the entire match. Two episodes which certainly could have positively influenced Toro’s season (especially with regards to the cup), but which instead only worsened the situation by warming the spirits of the men on the pitch and of Juric. The hope, therefore, is that Sunday’s match can also be a fair one from a refereeing point of view.
