Messias' goal in the 67th minute reopened the Torino-Milan match and caused the furious reaction of Ivan Juric, who was sent off with a red card by referee Abisso.
In the current score of 2-0 for "grenades", the red and black winger found the goal, but the players and staff of Torino challenged his regularity. Messias pushed Buongiorno, the referee did not call for a foul.
Even the VAR did not intervene, provoking Juric's fury on the bench towards the refereeing body: "Shame on you, you piece of m..." This sarcastic outburst against the "black shirts" also brought his expulsion with a red card. However, the home side managed to win 2-1 and shock the Reds, the reigning Italian champions, in their pursuit of the title. From this stop of the "Devil", Turin certainly celebrated, but Napoli also rubbed their hands, which leads alone.
But what exactly happened to make Juric so angry? More than Abisso's missing "whistle" in real time, it was the lack of VAR intervention. Messias and Buongiorno both follow the ball near the right corner of the "grenade" area when the Brazilian, slightly disadvantaged by the defender, tries to defend with his body but pushes the opponent from behind.
A touch that unbalances the home player, but also bluffs Milinkovic-Savic who was two steps away, with Messias taking the opportunity to put the ball into the net. If not in real time, at least with the use of slow motion in VAR, everything had to be stopped and called off. For this, Juric first received a yellow card from referee Abisso, in protest.
