The controversial moments from Como v Roma, a match in the 29th round of Serie AThe match officials for Como v Roma:In the seventh minute, the deadlock was broken in the Como v Roma match, with the Giallorossi taking the lead thanks to a penalty converted by Malen. It all stemmed from a reckless back-pass by Caqueret that caught Diego Carlos off guard. The former Sevilla defender was late to the challenge on El Shaarawy, who went down. Massa had no doubts and immediately awarded the penalty. On DAZN, Luca Marelli agreed with the referee’s decision: “It was a trip, and it was a non-penalised SPA, with Massa therefore not showing Diego Carlos a yellow card. It was not, however, a DOGSO, in which case the referee would have had to show a red card.”In the 65th minute, Como launched a counter-attack with Baturina playing in Diao. The striker won a 50-50 challenge against Rensch, who held him back but couldn’t stop him. Wesley, however, managed to do so, but as he had already been booked, he was subsequently sent off. On DAZN, Luca Marelli expressed his doubts: “From the front-on replay, it looks as though Wesley didn’t make contact, whilst Rensch was holding onto his shirt. For Massa, the foul was committed by Wesley.”Add GOAL.com as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reporting
