Luca Marellireferee commentator of Daznanalyzes the first goal of Lazio-Inter 0-6which arrived on a penalty kick converted by Hakan Calhanoglu. The penalty was awarded by referee Chiffi, called to the monitor by VAR, on the development of a corner kick on which Inter had found the net, validated due to Lautaro’s offside, but the cause of the penalty was prior to the goal not validated by De Vrij: “The penalty is awarded for a handball by Gigot on an attempted header by Dumfries. The arm is very high, usually with the arm above shoulder height it is always a penalty kick. position of Lautaro is presumably offside, but commits an infringement only later than the previous one, which is the first and must be punished. The penalty kick is awarded without a disciplinary infringement, because it has been decriminalized for a year and a half.
We have already seen this episode this year, it is not new. We saw it in the past, in Juventus-Cagliari. You will remember Gatti’s attempted header and the deviation with Luperto’s left hand, which he touched in elevation. It’s quite similar, even in that circumstance the touch occurred with the hand at shoulder height and was punished with a penalty kick.
We can discuss the rationale, but based on the current rules we must consider these interventions with the arms at shoulder height as punishable.”
The comment by Marco Baroni: “I’m not commenting, I’m talking about the match. I’m sorry for the team and our fans, I take responsibility for the defeat. We played 40 good minutes, but it’s not enough: the team gave in on a nervous level.”
