Former referee: Vlatesi pulls Matic and doesn t give a penalty right, but Dimarco should be sent off

September 22 In the 4th round of Serie A, Inter Milan defeated Sassuolo 2-1 at home. Former Serie A referee Marelli, who served as a guest at DAZN, talked about two controversial penalty. In the last moment of the game, Matic was pulled from behind by Flatesi in the penalty area, and then Matic fell to the ground, but the referee did not award a penalty. Marelli said: "Inter Milan is indeed risky, but Matic fell to the ground too slowly. I emphasize that pulling the jersey did happen, but the time and intensity of pulling were not enough to award a penalty, and he realized this himself."

However, Marelli pointed out that Inter Milan defender Di Marco should have received the second yellow card in the last moment of stoppage time of the game. "The game was about to end at that time. Dimarco first fouled and then kicked the ball away. He had already received a yellow card before... His behavior was an illegal act that could take the second yellow card and should have been sent off."
