The Brianza team waste too much and are punished: Marì disaster leaves his team with 10 men, after Pedro Pereira’s equalizer in the 85th minute Valeri decides in injury time
A goal in the 98th minute headed by Valenti sent Bocchetti’s debut as Monza coach to hell. The Ducali won 2-1 in a crazy match where everything happened, with three goals disallowed for the Brianza team, two penalties – one of which was revoked – for the Ducali, one sent off (Pablo Marì) and eight cautioned by the referee La Penna, who appeared extremely confusedwith the VAR having its work cut out for it. In the 85th minute Pedro Pereira had brought Monza back to parity and it would have been the fairest result but the final forcing by the ducals led to the sensational epilogue at the last second after 7′ of injury time.
Top e flop Parma
- Hernani 6.5. He runs for two and it’s not always enough. Cold from the spot on the occasion of the penalty. He leaves due to injury.
- Man 6. Without his shoulder Bonny loses a point of reference but plays with the opposing defenders, causing two yellow cards.
- Chancellors 5. Anonymous but it’s also the fault of the few balls that reach forward.
- Suzuki 5.5. Uncertain in his interventions, saved three times by VAR.
Top e flop Monza
- Maldini 6. Cross and delight, create and waste. He comes out after less than an hour to make room for Djuric who scores as soon as he comes in but the referee disallows it for offside.
- Circuit 6. A thorn in the side for the entire first half.
- Ankle 6. Attacker added at times, effective in the dual role on the wing.
- Izzo 5,5. Too much foul, big risk.
- Pablo Marì 4.5. He gets confused right from the start and gets two yellow cards.
Who is the referee La Penna
Federico La Penna – the choice for Genoa-Napoli – returned to refereeing in Serie A only two years ago after the long stop because, as many will remember, he was suspended due to altered reimbursements. Lawyer by profession, severe on the pitch, not inclined to dialogue, the Roman whistleblower has returned to high levels and even if he is not an international he is currently among the most reliable in Can. During the season he also refereed the Genoa-Sampdoria Italian Cup derby while in the last outing – Atalanta-Milan – was harshly contested by the Rossoneri coach Fonseca. Let’s see how he fared at the Tardini.
La Penna’s precedents with Parma and Monza
There were 5 precedents against the Crusaders with a record of one win, three draws and one defeat, with the Brianza team there were 4 matches with 3 draws and a knockout
The referee cautioned eight players
Assisted by assistants Mastrodonato and Ricci with Zufferli IV man, Marini at Var and Abisso at Avar, the referee booked Izzo, D’Ambrosio, Marì, Valenti, Carboni, Birindelli, Hainault, Camara, Pereira. Pablo Marì was sent off in the 54th minute for a second yellow card
Parma-Monza, the slow motion cases
These are the main doubtful episodes of the race. In the 3rd minute Ciurria scored on a cross from Caprari but after a very long check by Var the goal was annulled: the ball had gone out by a few millimeters at the time of the cross. It doesn’t go any better at Monza in the 9th minute: Maldini scores after an assist from Caprari who however at the time of the cross he was offside. The match gets ugly before the half hour mark. In the 28th minute Izzo was yellow for a foul on Man. D’Ambrosio was also booked for a previous foul. In the 34th minute Marì was also booked for a late tackle on Man.
In the 50th minute, Parma protests due to a stomp on Coulibaly in the area by Pablo Marì, La Penna allows the play to be played, the VAR intervenes after several minutes to call him back to the on field review and the Roman whistle draws out the second yellow for Marì and assigns in penalty to the ducals. Hernani scores from the spot. In the 60th minute Djuric, who had just come on in place of Maldini, scored the equalizer but the linesman’s flag went up and the goal is canceled with the approval of the VAR. In the 63rd minute Valenti was booked for incorrect play. In the 70th minute Carboni was booked for a foul on Hainault. In the 73rd minute Birindelli was booked for a foul on Camara.
Camara himself immediately afterwards comes into contact in the area with Birindelli himself, who risks a second yellow card: a very light hand on the chest, La Penna points to the spot then whistles to indicate the VAR’s call for an on field review, deceiving Benedyczak who scores the penalty . After reviewing the images Penna revokes the penalty. Hainault booked in the 78th minute. In the 94th minute Pedro Pereira received a yellow card. After 7′ of injury time and Valeri’s last-second goal, Parma-Monza ends 2-1.
