The game will not be repeated. In fact, the mistake in this case was not to give the advantage which, however, falls within the discretionary powers of the arbitrator. Messias’s goal never happened
From victory to defeat in a matter of minutes. This is the story of Milan-Spezia, finished 2-1 for the Ligurian team. But the decisive episode arrives at the 92nd when the game was still 1-1 and the Rossoneri score the 2-1 with Messias, but the referee Serra makes a sensational mistake by not granting the advantage and stopping the action for a foul on Rebic at the limit just before the Brazilian shot. So much so that we can’t even talk about a goal canceled, since what happened after the referee’s whistle as if it never happened.

The referee admitted his mistake and, in the closet of the strippers he let himself go to hot tears, so much so that he was even consoled by the Rossoneri players. At the end of the match many fans wondered, is it possible to repeat the match after the referee admits the mistake? Let’s say the answer right away, no. In fact, the mistake in this case was not to give the advantage which, however, falls within the discretionary powers of the arbitrator. In practice, Serra should have given it, but he could also not give it. And in any case, his whistle invalidated whatever happened after that. The goal of Messiah it hasn’t been undone, as if it never happened. The Var also could not intervene on the matter because it does not fall within the cases established by the protocol.

The regulation in any case, it must be specified, provides for the possibility of repeating the match due to a technical error by the referee as long as there is an admission by the match director of the mistake in the match report. In this case, although it was an error in the interpretation of the game, the referee could call the foul and therefore did not violate the rules. Repetitions of the match took place in football but for sensational events. An example? Bundesliga 1993-94 season match between Bayern Munich and Nuremberg. Following a corner, Helmer finds himself with the ball at his feet half a meter from the goal. But he stumbles and the ball comes out a few centimeters. The referee still concedes the goal. It ends 2-1 for Bayern. The race will be repeated. A rather rare case. In fact, not always the technical error of the referee, although explicitly admitted also in the report, leads to the repetition of the match. In fact, the sports judge will then have to evaluate the effective influence on the regular running of the competition. But, as we have seen, this will not be the case.
