Calvarese: “Tameze expulsion? The VAR’s intervention cannot be explained”

This is how the former referee judges the work of Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi and the refereeing team during Inter-Turin

Inter-Torino, as well as being the match that served as the backdrop to the Nerazzurri’s Scudetto celebration, will also go down in history for being the first Serie A match directed by an all-female refereeing team. The former referee Paolo Calvarese, from the columns of Tuttosportjudged the work of Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi and the members of the refereeing team: “The most controversial event, which then influenced the rest of the match, was undoubtedly the red card given to Adrien Tameze for a foul on Henrikh Mkhitaryan on the edge of the Granata penalty area.

From the field Ferrieri Caputi assigns the yellow, then on the monitor he reviews his decision, harshening the sanction. The Torino midfielder’s intervention is more punishable than not, but the replay does not reveal a real trip. There are elements that make the referee lean towards the warning: the direction of the ball (which does not go towards the goal but towards the outside), the presence of another defender who is not cut off (Lovato). An episode on the pitch, and as such evaluated, precisely on the pitch, correctly: this is why the intervention of Var Aleandro Di Paolo cannot be explained, completely inconsistent with the threshold prescribed by the protocol.

However, there are no doubts about the penalty: Marcus Thuram anticipates Matteo Lovato, who hits him clearly. Impeccable decision. The one for Tameze is the only disciplinary sanction of the match, and it inevitably directs it, so much so that the two Nerazzurri goals arrive in numerical superiority“.
