A night to forget for Milan who ended the match with Monza with ten men. Indeed, at 52', Luka Jovic was expelled due to violent behavior. The player was initially only cautioned by Colombo, who had not noticed his contact with Izzo. The defender was marking the former Fiorentina and Real Madrid player, who did not appreciate his marking and tried to take justice into his own hands by hitting him in the face with a slap.
Monza-Milan, Di Gregorio forced to leave after a blow to the head: what happened
What happened
Initially, the whistle of Como had not seen the unsportsmanlike conduct of the Rossonero and had shown the yellow card. Then the Var called the referee to review the action since there were margins for a red card. From the images of the video assistant referee, it was possible to see how number 15 had hit the opposing defender with a slap far from the ball. It took little for Colombo to assess the situation, returning to the field soon after and changing his decision: direct red for Jovic. As reported by Dazn, the Rossonero bench also tried to downplay the issue, but Palladino and his collaborators did not let the attempt go, confirming the dynamics of the incident then reviewed at the Var.
