Provedel, Lazio goalkeeper, draw in the last action of the match; Atleti protests against an earlier foul on the Argentinian.
The AtlMadrid’s ethicist met a cruel and unusual end in Rome, where Lazio tied the match in the last action of the match and through Ivan Provedel, the goalkeeper of the Italian team who had gone looking in the 95th minute of the match to 1-1. . The controversy arose immediately after that goal. Was there a foul on Ángel Correa in the previous action?
The Lazio vs. Controversy Atlético de Madrid: Was it a foul on Ángel Correa in the action before goalkeeper Provedel’s equalizer?
Fate, luck, football or whatever has taken its toll on Atlético in the Italian capital. Although Lazio had done well to draw the match long ago, with Jan Oblak saving the Italians’ chances time and time again, Atleti seemed to have settled the game and took three important points from Madrid on both teams’ debuts in the Champions League 2023/24.
However, the local goalkeeper equalized in a move that came immediately after Ángel Correa protested against a foul that Slovenian referee Slavko Vinicic had not seen. A protest that also earned the Argentina international the yellow card. It is very likely that this grab on the former San Lorenzo player’s shirt was enough for the referee to signal a foul in favor of an Atlético team that would have ‘killed’ the match in that action. But it wasn’t like that and in the end they lost two points in an unusual and cruel way.
