Referee reverses penalty after review
The match saw a key officiating review in the first half. Referee Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi initially pointed to the penalty spot on 28 minutes after Como defensive midfielder Luis Milla accidentally handled the ball inside the area, but reversed the decision following a VAR monitor review, according to Kompas and VIVA.co.id. VIVA.co.id noted that Como played without several players due to injury, including Moise Kean, Assane Diao, Jesus Rodriguez, Trevoh Chalobah, and Addai.
In the second half, Venezia manager Davide Nicola introduced Kike Perez, John Yeboah, Toma Basic, and Richie Sagrado off the bench to chase an equalizer, with Yeboah and Perez testing Como goalkeeper Jean Butez from long range. However, Kompas reported that Fabregas managed his squad’s energy by making second-half substitutions with upcoming fixtures in mind.
