San Gallo-Fiorentina, the cases from slow motion
These are the main dubious episodes. The problems begin in the 12th minute: play stopped due to the throwing of some smoke bombs onto the pitch by the Viola fans near the goal defended by Terracciano. Three minutes after the speaker’s announcement inviting suspend the throwing of smoke bombsplay resumes at Kybunpark. All in vain. At 16′ another suspension due to poor visibility, then the game resumes for the second time. In the 22nd minute Bove serves Kouamé all alone in the penalty area after a high recovery, the Ivorian passes Ati-Zigi with a low shot with his right foot but is stopped by the flag raised by the assistant.
First yellow in the 49th minute, it was for Stanic who stopped Sottil for a foul. In the 51st minute also yellow for Kouame who stopped an opponent illegally. Mambimbi was also booked for protesting. In the second half in the 54th minute Kouame for Bove, ball for Ikonè who beats Ati Zigi. Swiss protests but the goal is confirmed after the VAR check.
In the 61st minute Sottil was booked after a foul on Vandermersch. After the Swiss equalizer in the 69th minute, Ikoné scored again on a throw-in led by Sottil. More protests for a borderline intervention by Beltran on Vandermersch which gave the offensive action of Palladino’s team but after a few minutes of stalemate, VAR confirmed the Frenchman’s goal. At 71′ yellow for Cataldi who is surprised by the decision made by Frid. The former Lazio player was probably booked for a previous foul on which the referee allowed the action to continue.
In the 74th minute, more explosive material was thrown by the Viola fans. Game still interrupted, Frid calls the UEFA delegate and the Fiorentina team manager to try to stop the continuous excesses of the Florentine supporters and captain Biraghi is forced to go under the sector occupied by the visiting fans to ask the lily supporters to stop. In the 86th minute Witzig had the ball stolen by Kouamé and then held it back visibly. Yellow arrives for the Swiss player. After 10 minutes of added time San Gallo-Fiorentina ends 2-4.
