“Guida and Irrati disaster: chaos, penalties and cards”, headlines this morning on Corriere dello Sport in the slow motion of the Rome derby staged yesterday afternoon. Perhaps the worst in the field, Guida. He seemed not to have started badly (although he was good with Rui Patricio, as an orange). But there are two episodes that indelibly stain the game. Because if the one assigned to Roma (Zaniolo kicking Akpa Akpro) is a penalty (and it isn’t), then Hysaj’s on Zaniolo just before Lazio’s 2-0 is twice a penalty. It is called compensation, the worst of referee distortions: because it means that you make two mistakes instead of one. Unforgivable, especially in the era of VAR. And in between many other errors. Rating: 4.
On the same wavelength the slow motion of the Gazzetta dello Sport: “Complicated derby for Guida. At 19 ‘Lazio doubles, but Roma protests for the contact in the biancoceleste area between Hysaj and Zaniolo. The Albanian pushes a little and landslide on the opponent: a contact that can be whistled in field, but not from Var, because the evaluation of the entity is the responsibility of the referee. The real Guide error arrives in the 53rd minute, when Leiva, already warned, throws his arms on Mkhitaryan’s face: there was the second yellow and therefore the red “.
