Heavy-handedness of the sports judge against Adama Diakite: 4-match disqualification following the expulsion during the Coppa Italia match lost by Torres against Milan Futuro 1-0.
The expulsion and disqualification were given on the report of the second assistant. The statement reads as follows: "For having, in the 33rd minute of the second half, behaved violently towards an opposing player, as, during play but without contesting the ball, he hit him with a high-intensity elbow to the face, causing blood to come out of his lips."
An unusually harsh measure, considering the normal conduct of centre-forward Diakite, who on the other hand is bombarded with fouls by defenders in every match and poorly protected.
In any case, the 4-match disqualification (the club will probably appeal) is valid for the Coppa Italia and therefore for next year's tournament, given that Torres has been eliminated.
