"Double yellow card for improper behavior towards an opponent." This is the reason for the two yellow cards received yesterday by Yerry Mina in Lazio-Cagliari, which led to his highly controversial expulsion in the 78th minute . But if there is little to discuss for the first, with a foul on Isaksen where the referee had given the advantage, for the second much more given that the contact with Castellanos - which he accentuates quite a bit by getting up as soon as he realizes he has obtained what he wanted - is minimal and the referee had his back turned (as did the fourth official Zufferli) because he was following the action from the other side. And he cannot have seen anything.

For Mina, one day of disqualification, obviously: it is automatically triggered for each expulsion given by a double yellow. And the same sanction goes to Michel Adopo, the other rossoblù who received the red card. For him, the reason for the second warning is " protesting against the match officials ", after the first (in the 8th minute) for a foul. Both will miss Milan on Saturday at 18.

Lazio-Cagliari completes a nightmare eleventh day for the referees, with a series of errors in almost all the matches since Saturday. And with an absurd disciplinary tail: from today's press release from the Sports Judge (who disqualified, in addition to the two rossoblù, also Livramento of Verona) emerges the failure to caution Mateo Retegui in Napoli-Atalanta, despite the Argentine striker taking off his shirt to celebrate after the goal of the final 0-3 .
