Nkunku misjudged VAR recording released: The referee called a penalty, but VAR insisted that Nkunku took the initiative to kick

The first episode of the new season of "Open Var" broadcast by DAZN immediately brought one of the most controversial events in the history of not only this round of Serie A, but also the entire video assistant referee (VAR).

The following is about the VAR audio transcription between referee Marchenaro, video assistant referee Fabrey and Paterna, and fourth official Lapuano in the penalty kick cancelled after two physical contacts in Milan's match against Bologna.

VAR audio transcription:

Referee Marchenaro (about Lukumi-Nkunku's first contact):

"For me, it's nothing."

(Marchenaro then called a penalty for Nkunku's contact with Freuer)

(VAR room checks Nkunku's position and possession, and the results clearly show that they are compliant)

VAR assistant referee Fabry (about Lukumi-Nkunku's first contact):

"He didn't blow... the one behind him blew the penalty."

VAR assistant referee Fabry (about Freuer-Nkunku's contact):

"Where did he meet? (referring to Freuer) No, his feet are fixed. His feet are fixed On the ground, he even touched the ball with his legs: it was the forward who bumped into it himself. (And said to Paterna) If I show you the previous contact between Lukumi and Nkunku, what do you think? "

VAR Assistant Referee Paterna (about Lukumi and Nkunku's first contact)

"He did stretch his legs, Nkunku...but nothing: because this is the forward looking for a foul."

Fabry (VAR Assistant Referee)

"Yes, he stretched his legs, and I agree with you. Let's look at the back (the picture returns to the contact between Freuer and Nkunku) and find a few clear shots, because I think this is not a penalty kick, what do you think? Because his feet are fixed on the ground and he didn't kick anyone at all."

Paterna (VAR Assistant referee)

"I agree."

Fabry (VAR assistant referee)

"I want another angle, this. (Freuer)'s foot is already on the ground, and it was him (Nkunku) who kicked him. What do you think?"

Paterna (VAR assistant referee)

"Yes, I agree, it was the forward who took the initiative to go...you look..."

Fabry (VAR assistant referee) said to Marchenaro (master referee):

"Mateo, I suggest you take a look, because the defender's foot is on the ground, and it was Nkunku who kicked him when he landed."

(Marchenaro walked to the VAR monitor)

Fabry (VAR assistant referee) versus Marchenaro (master referee) ) said:

"Look, his (Freuer) foot is on the ground, and it was Nkunku who kicked him later."

Marchenaro (Referee):

" Didn't Michael (Farbry), No. 8 (Freuer) also take the initiative to lean on him?"

Farbry (VAR assistant referee):

"But his foot is on the ground, and his foot doesn't move : Freuer did nothing. His feet were rooted in the ground. "

(Marcenaro left the monitor and announced the cancellation of the penalty penalty)

Lapuano (fourth official) told Marcenaro (the referee):

"Marce, Matteo (all the names of the referees), gave Allegri a red card, gave Allegri a red card, and gave Allegri a red card."
