Milan scored the opener in the 2-1 win over Sassuolo after 6.76 seconds against, the fastest goal in the history of Serie A and Europe’s leading leagues.
Marelli insists the goal should have been disallowed and explained why VAR didn’t intervene.

Milan scored the opener in the 2-1 win over Sassuolo after 6.76 seconds against, the fastest goal in the history of Serie A and Europe’s leading leagues.
Marelli insists the goal should have been disallowed and explained why VAR didn’t intervene.
“Let’s nip a possible controversy in the bud,” he said. “On Milan’s first goal, Leao has a foot in the other half of the pitch.
“In theory, the goal should have been disallowed, but VAR doesn’t have jurisdiction over kick-off.”
Sfatiamo sul nascere una possibile polemica.
Sul primo gol del Milan Leao ha un piede nell'altra metà campo.
Teoricamente è irregolare ma non da VAR: non sono consentite review sulle riprese di gioco.— Luca Marelli (@LucaMarelli72) December 20, 2020
