Two penalties, four yellow cards, one red card and four goals: this is the synthesis of Lazio-Inter, the big match of the eighth day that put the referee Irrati to a severe test. The designator had chosen him to understand if he had finally made that long-awaited qualitative leap, after having in recent seasons with Rizzoli the whistle from Pistoia did not feel confident enough to perform at its best (so much so that it was used above all at the Var) and this was really the test of fire even if for 80 ′ it had been a substantially correct race. Chaos broke out before Lazio’s 2-1 goal.
The reconstruction of the incriminated episode of Lazio-Inter
We are in the 81st minute: Dimarco ends up on the ground due to a foul by Lucas Leiva, Lautaro recovers the ball and continues to play by kicking on goal. Reina saves and starts the action again, Felipe Anderson runs and overrides his own Dimarco rested on the ground and triggers Immobile: feint, shot and Handanovic rejects on the “Pipe” that bags the 2-1. At that point it explodes the anger of Inter.
Dumfries is the first to arrive on Anderson, rescued by Milinkovic and Property. Handanovic also does not forgive Felipe’s gesture, guilty according to the Nerazzurri for not having put the ball out during the counterattack. The result is a furious brawl, a free-for-all that forces Irrati to pull out the yellow cards. Lautaro is among the most unleashed, even he takes it out on Felipe Anderson. Eventually, with difficulty, the storm subsides but it is only a flash in the pan.
New chaos at the end, after the final whistle and the 3-1 biancoceleste. Everything comes from the desire to Luiz Felipe to go and hug his brotherly friend Correa, until last summer in biancoceleste. Without taking into account the tension on the pitch, the player takes Correa behind him, who reacts by chasing away the Brazilian. The referee Irrati, who notices everything, expels the defender. That bursts into tears.
What the Sports Judge will decide
Now the ball passes to the Sports Judge who will issue his sentence on Tuesday but no big blows are to be expected. Everything has been reported, there is no reason to resort to the TV test. To pay will be only Luiz Felipe (the least guilty of all, paradoxically) who presumably will be disqualified for one round, despite good faith.
