Juventus denied clear penalty: João Mário's arm, no VAR
Referee Colombo waved it away and VAR stayed silent in the 2-2 draw at Fiorentina, a penalty Luca Marelli calls clear-cut.
In the 2-2 draw at Fiorentina, João Mário touched the ball inside the area with his arm well away from his body, but referee Colombo did not award a penalty to Juventus. The VAR did not intervene either.
According to Tuttosport, the arm was at roughly 90 degrees after the ball bounced off a scramble. Luca Marelli, on DAZN, said the touch was clearly punishable and a penalty should have been given. He also judged Bremer's equaliser valid, since the ball struck his shoulder.
There was another doubtful call: Oulai was not sent off for a second yellow early in the second half, despite a rash challenge and an earlier booking for protesting.
