Aureliano’s performance at the Maipei Stadium analyzed by X-ray, the Bologna whistle conceded two penalties and booked four players
Aureliano, designated by Rocchi for Sassuolo-Empoli, had hit the headlines for a nice gesture: after having refereed the Serie B match between Palermo and Como, he gave the ball with which the match was played to a small fan in the stands at the end of the match. He asked the security staff to open the door that separates the pitch from the stands and reached the Rosanero fan, giving him the ball, a smile and a caress. Let’s see how he fared yesterday at Maipei Stadium.

Sassuolo-Empoli, the slow motion cases
These are the main dubious episodes. In the 23rd minute Maleh’s second goal was canceled out: the midfielder, after Cancellieri’s post, controlled with his arm before pushing the ball into the net even though the impression was that the ball hit him: the referee, with the support of the Var, grants the penalty. In the 26th minute Volpato falls to the ground after an alleged contact with Luperto: Aureliano, close to the action, lets it continue. It seems more like the former Roma player looking for contact that isn’t there.
In the 53rd minute after an intervention in the area by Ismajli on Tressoldi, Aureliano – that he had let go – was called to the monitor by VAR and decided to award a very dubious penalty kick to the neroverdi. For Aureliano it is the second time they have called him to the VAR for an uncertain penalty after the very dubious one awarded to Fiorentina against Inter when the referee had seen clearly. In the 64th minute, a clear handball in the area by Ferrari on Niang’s offensive advance. Aureliano assigns another penalty in Sassuolo-Empoli.
