Juve-Roma, Orsato and the penalty: what the referee said

“The advantage on a penalty is never given. Then you took the penalty kick, you blame me because you missed the penalty kick …”. Dazn’s microphones capture the words that the referee Orsato addresses to Cristante, Roma midfielder, in the tunnel of the Allianz Stadium before the second half of Juventus-Roma. The referee explains to the Giallorossi the dynamics that prompted him to whistle the penalty for Roma at the end of the first half, before Abraham concluded the action with a goal, not validated. Veretout then missed the penalty. Roma asked for the norm of the advantage and therefore the assignment of the network. “The goalkeeper comes out, foul, penalty … No, offside … Whistle, everyone stops … And if I don’t blow the whistle? … On a penalty, you never give the advantage eh …”, the words by Orsato.
