Controversial Referee Marcenaro Breaks Record in Fiorentina-Sassuolo Match: Analysis and Highlights

The referee Marcenaro, chosen by Rocchi for Fiorentina-Sassuolo, does not have an easy season. In the season he made several mistakes during Napoli-Cagliari (when he denied a regular goal) and Inter-Lecce (when he made more than one mistake) as recent cases. Marcenaro had 25 instructions to his credit, the last one in Lecce-Roma at the beginning of the month when he angered the Capitolines but how did the Genoese whistle fare yesterday at the Franchi?

Fiorentina-Sassuolo, slow motion issues

These are the suspicious events. In the 13th minute the first yellow of the game goes to Tressoldi who hits Sottil by getting involved completely late. He has been booked and will miss the next game against Inter. In the 32nd minute Martinez Quarta was booked and Thorstvedt made a late stop. In the 80th minute Comuzzo made a late intervention on Mulattieri, saved by Marcenaro who always controlled the game. All the goals were consistent Fiorentina-Sassuolo, the peculiarity is that the referee did not give a recovery time either in the first or second half. Record.
