Referee expert: The penalty call between Pisa and Milan confuses me, but it’s not a clear misjudgment

Hupu News, October 24th: In Milan's 2-2 home draw with Pisa early this morning, Pisa received a penalty due to Derwent's handball. DAZN referee expert Marelli also expressed his opinions on the program.

In the 60th minute of the game, Cuadrado's long-range shot from outside the penalty area hit the arm of Milan player Derwent. Cuadrado then raised his arm to signal the referee for a handball. After watching the video, the referee awarded a penalty kick. Cuadrado made the penalty kick, helping Pisa even the score to 1-1. The Rossoneri strongly protested the penalty, pointing out that Derwent's hand movements looked reasonable and natural.

Marelli said on the show:

"This penalty makes me a little confused. It is true that the defensive player's arm was open very wide and was not close to the body when making contact, but we must also consider that the arm is in the process of being retracted, and his movement is towards himself, not Toward the ball, so this penalty decision makes me skeptical. However, if I were VAR, I would not intervene. This is a controversial situation, but it is not an obvious and significant misjudgment. However, there is no clear and consistent conclusion for everyone."
