Lucumí gutwrench lift on Conceição

[MidfieldMaestro]

the funniest part is people debating indirect lol what is indirect here he literally throws him down in the box

 

[Robert88]

As usual some will say refs help Juve, then you see this and no check. Same story every week, VAR is vibes.

 

[Ronaldo7CR]

if kalulu got sent off off a pixelated video from space station then this should be 3 reds and a pen lol

 

[PretzelGod]

I missed it live, but on the full replay you can see the arm to the face too. That makes it look even worse.

 

[EthanGoal]

Not even trying to be neutral, that is violent conduct Red + pen and move on. Diving talk is a distraction.

 

[TheTactician]

broadcaster cutting the replay is nasty. show the whole thing or dont show it. the throw down is the key part

 

[FootballFrenzy]

i dont care if he dived 5 seconds before you cant pick a man up like a suitcase then drop him send him off

 

[MasonTips]

The earlier one maybe not a pen, fine. But THIS? Clear red and if the ball is still in play it is a penalty. VAR sleeping again.

 

[LastMinuteGoal]

conciecao dives every time yes. but lucumi doing wrestling is still red. ref bottled it no caps no excuses

 

[Jacob1984]

People will still claim Juventus get every call, even when you have a blatant violent conduct incident ignored. Reverse the shirts and the outrage would be loud.

 

[GoalMachine99]

I am sorry but slapping the head and then dumping him is insane. If Zaccagni and Basic got reds for way less, how is this nothing?

 

[DanielBetting]

On his birthday too, what a way to celebrate Still, should be red card and probably a pen.

 

[FreeKickMaster]

Clear red. VAR should check.

 

[UltimateBettor]

People saying it is deserved for diving are weird. Diving gets a yellow, not a body slam. Still a red for me.

 

[OffsideTrap99]

If you think it is a dive, fine, but the arm to the face means you cannot call it just acting. Also violent conduct is automatic red.

 

[TopScorer88]

Direct free kick offence in the box means penalty. Indirect is wrong here.

 

[noahBet]

The debate about indirect versus direct is pointless. Violent conduct is a sending off. If it occurs while the ball is in play and in the box, it is a penalty.

 

[StrikerLegend]

Conceição sells it, sure, but Lucumí made it easy for VAR. Except VAR did nothing

 

[championsclub]

I want the full replay every time. Cutting it right after the lift is shady. Red card, penalty, end of story

 

[ViscaBarcelona2911]

The key details from the replay are: he lifts him, he makes face contact with the arm, and then he throws him down while the ball is still live. That is why it is both a red card and a penalty by the rules.
