كومو were closing in on three points heading into the late stages of the game with a 1-0 lead after a 13th minute goal from Nico Paz. In the 88th minute, though, Ramon was sent off for a harsh slide tackle on جنوة player Junior Messias and four minutes later the visitors equalised through Caleb Ekuban.
Morata was not happy with the decision to give the young defender his marching orders as he felt the replay should have been given a closer look by the officials.
Morata said after the game: “We lost two important points. I understand it’s difficult to make decisions, but I can’t understand why Ramon’s sending off wasn’t reviewed by VAR. You can tell right away it wasn’t a straight leg. I don’t understand why, with today’s technology, they don’t review the play by VAR. The intensity may seem harsh, but if you review it slowly, it doesn’t warrant a red card. He barely gets it. We’re all human and we make mistakes.”
After finishing 10th in الدوري الإيطالي last season and investing heavily in new players over the summer, Como are eager to reach the next level under Cesc Fabregas, though the coach says he is being patient. They opened the new season with a victory against لاتسيو before suffering a 1-0 defeat at بولونيا in their second game before they hosted Genoa this week.
Como, with four points in three fixtures, currently sit ninth in the Serie A table. They will face فيورنتينا in their next match on September 21.
