Because the referee expelled Rovella with the Var: what he saw
It took an ON-Field-Review to convince the Lithuanian referee, Donasas Rosasas, to change the decision moving from the simple admonition to the expulsion of the midfielder. The episode took place at 74 ° and risked compromising the race. What prompted the race director to extract the red card? From the control room they suggest him to review the action and when he goes to the monitor he takes note of what he had not noticed in real time: the dangerous game of the footballer. In an attempt to intercept the ball, he relaxes his leg and hits the opponent to the face, Sulc, reflecting a escarpment.
