Juventus-Genoa was characterized by great nervousness, especially from the forwards who failed to break through Genoa's defense. It was a rather lackluster performance by Federico Chiesa, but also by Dusan Vlahovic who, towards the end of the match, left the pitch before the final whistle while visibly protesting. Upon exiting, the number 9 from Juventus also exchanged looks with Massimiliano Allegri, who certainly did not appreciate his behavior.

Juventus-Genoa 0-0, a white-and-black psychodrama: yet another draw for Allegri amid boos from the Stadium. Vlahovic expelled, will miss the match against Lazio

Was Vlahovic expelled? What happened

From the footage broadcasted by Dazn, the dynamics were not very clear since it was only seen the former Fiorentina player leaving the pitch with the game stopped, while Martinez was waiting to take a free kick. The broadcaster of the match explained that, in reality, the number 9 was expelled by the referee.

The reason

The referee's decision came due to the Serbian's attitude, which was not correct according to the whistle. After what, according to the match official, was a charge on Martinez, Dusan protested because he thought it was an exaggerated decision. For this reason, the first yellow card was given, but then, seeing that the intensity of the protests did not decrease, Giua decided to expel him. Precisely as he was leaving the pitch of the Stadium, Vlahovic also quickly clarified the situation with Allegri, who followed him with his gaze as he went to the locker room.
