The designer Rocchi can also afford some experiments for third tier matches such as Lazio-Salernitana. Hence the choice of Luca Zufferli. The Friulian whistle was just in fourth place in Serie A (debut last year in Bologna-Monza) after having managed Sassuolo-Monza, Frosinone-Genoa and Lecce-Frosinone this season and after an unconvincing debut last year but how did he fare at the Olimpico in the advance?

Zufferli’s history with Lazio and Salernitana
For the Friulian whistler it was the first time with both Lazio and Salernitana. Among the seasonal directions also two Italian Cup matches and eight in Serie B. Zufferli also refereed one Cypriot top flight match and one national cup match.
The referee only cautioned one player
Assisted by assistants Berti and Del Giovane with Duties IV man, Paterna al Var and Aureliano at Avar, the referee only booked the grenade Coulibaly and none of Tudor’s team. Recovery time: 4′ pt – 5′ st.

Lazio-Salernitana, slow motion cases
These are the dubious episodes. In the 14th minute there was a clear handball in the area by Gyomber, the referee is about to blow the penalty but wisely grants the advantage. Vecino takes advantage and doubles the lead in the melee. However, the Salernitana player should have been booked and even in the 40th minute, for a foul on Lazzari, he would have deserved a yellow. Pardoned twice.
In the 68th minute there was a head-to-head aerial clash between Castellanos and Pirola. The Argentine striker remains in pain on the ground, well done by Zufferli in promptly stopping the game because it is a facial problem for both players involved. What Di Bello didn’t do during Lazio-Milan nor Massimi in Milan-Lecce. The referee’s performance was positive in Lazio-Salernitana.
