La Gazzetta dello Sport (via PianetaMilan) have broken down the contentious incidents in the game starting with the goal in the 67th minute for Junior Messias. The Brazilian was positioned behind Alessandro Buongiorno and reached out to push the defender off balance while seeing that goalkeeper Vanja Milinković-Savić had come off his line.
The error is mainly the fault of the VAR room where Gianluca Aureliano was present, as he respected the choice of the referee even though – as per the paper – the goal seemed to be a foul from Messias.
For Torino’s second goal both Pietro Pellegri and Nikola Vlašić were in an offside position as a ball came over, but there was no offside to give for the goal because they did not interfere with play and were back onside for the next phase.
Finally, the paper says there was no penalty in the 91st minute from the free-kick that struck the Torino wall as they all had their arms and hands adherent to their body.
