Handball of Benatia against AC Milan analyzed by managers and referees in VAR meeting

Handball of Benatia against AC Milan analyzed by managers and referees in VAR meeting

Today, there was a meeting between the referee's association and the Serie A managers to discuss the use of VAR, following a few controversial calls in the last couple of weeks. 
 
Among these, the Benatia handball against Milan comes to mind, where you might argue that the defender should've been sent off. The former referee and current designator Rizzoli explained the situation to the press. 
 
"It could have been a red card if the referee was sure that Higuain was in control of the ball. If instead it is considered as an opponent's advance, instead of ball control, it can only be punished with a penalty, as it was," he said.
 
The meeting also included other analyzes: Inter vs. Fiorentina (handball on Hugo), Inter vs. Parma (handball on Dimarco), Udinese vs. Torino and Sassuolo vs. Inter (penalty not given on Asamoah).
