Eighth appearance of the season for Daniele Doveri in Serie A. The Roman referee, after a year of ups and downs due to some physical problems and more, has definitively recovered for Rocchi’s cause, who uses him for the third time this year in a big match (he had done Juventus-Napoli and Napoli-Atalanta). He responds presently, in a match that still presents few problems in the two areas and little nervousness, with the two teams thinking above all about playing (in fact there will be 17 fouls in the end).
Atalanta-Juve, Kolasinac’s elbow on McKennie escapes Doveri
In the first half, VAR silent check for a potential penalty kick for Atalanta due to an alleged handball by Locatelli. The midfielder prepares to kick with his right foot and his wide left arm (which is there naturally), to balance the play. The ball catches the foot of Ederson, who is a few centimeters away; from there it shoots, and on the rebound it ends up on Locatelli’s arm. The impact therefore, although on the wide arm, is completely non-punishable: it is right not to give the penalty. From a disciplinary point of view, Doveri tries as usual to keep the intervention threshold very high – an appreciable choice – but is wrong to leave aside a warning like the one for the aforementioned elbow from Kolasinac to the detriment of McKenniewhich is almost orange.
