Penalty kick revoked against Juventus in the match against Cagliari, valid for the 21st matchday of Serie A. Today, Saturday 17 Januarythe Bianconeri were awarded a penalty for a foul by Mazzitelli on Miretti, but after a review at the VAR, referee Massa retraced his steps by awarding a free kick for the Sardinians. But what happened to the Unipol Domus?
It all happens in the 15th minute of the first half. A loose ball in the area becomes an assist for Miretti, who cuts in, controls the ball and falls after the return of Mazzitelli, who collides with the Juventus midfielder and knocks him to the ground. Referee Massa has no doubts and points to the spot, causing immediate protests from the Cagliari players.
The match director was then called back to the VAR, where he revoked the penalty kick and awarded the home team a free kick.

So foul by the former Genoa player, not a penalty.
