The first half of Lazio-Juventus saw the Biancocelesti pushing forward and frequently close to scoring, with the first real thrill coming at the 23rd minute. On that occasion, Szczesny mis-kicked the ball to a teammate, and the trajectory, being too soft, was intercepted by Pedro. The Spaniard thus entered the box and, while falling from the Polish player's challenge, passed the ball to Kamada at the edge of the area, who shot against the opposing defenders. According to the referee, there was nothing wrong, and the action continued smoothly, but on social media, the Lazio fans' protest exploded.
Szczesny-Pedro Contact: What Happened
The Lazio fans did not appreciate the decision by Colombo to let the play continue without being called back by the VAR. Even in Lissone, the intervention by the former Roma goalkeeper was deemed regular, according to the Biancocelesti fans, who believe he never touched the ball. From the images provided during the replay, it's not clear whether the Polish's gloves touched the ball first or not. However, on social media, they are sure: "So, this wouldn't be a penalty?", "Szczesny, are you joining in too?" and: "That's a penalty on Pedro". Finally, there are also some Juventus fans who admit the luck: "We are lucky because after that gross error Szczesny dives with his gloves onto Pedro's feet".
