"Everything in the 80th minute (37 seconds): Marinelli appears to be covered, Parisi sees Gimenez's precise position, and it's clear that - to prevent the Milan player from gaining possession - the Viola extends his right arm, touches the attacker's face with his hand, and applies a restraining gesture, but it's subtle. Marinelli, who has previously made decisions on the pitch, is called to VAR. The announcement comes at 84'20": penalty and yellow."
"Refereeing expert Luca Marelli agrees with Fiorentina's anger over the penalty, because he states that it was 'outside the protocol' of VAR, because it was not a 'clear and obvious error'. "There isn't even really a shirt tug, it is simply Parisi's hand on Gimenez's neck.

AC Milan beat Fiorentina 2-1 after a late penalty awarded in the final ten minutes following contact between Fabiano Parisi and Santiago Gimenez. Robin Gosens opened the scoring for Fiorentina and Rafael Leao equalised for Milan. VAR chief recommended the referee review an original non-penalty decision after Gimenez fell when pulled back by Parisi. Fiorentina sporting director Daniele Prade called the award 'scandalous' and coach Stefano Pioli said it encourages players to dive. La Gazzetta described a subtle right-arm touch to the attacker's face and a restraining gesture. Refereeing expert Luca Marelli said the intervention was outside VAR protocol and not a clear and obvious error.
