At the end of the minute, Swedish judge Chakir Chelbat decided to disqualify him
Win was awarded to Arman Chilmanov
Matos and his coach protested in a very harsh manner against the'referee
Finally the'athlete attacked Judge Chelbat with a kick to the face, breaking his lip
The World Taekwondo Federation decided to disqualify Matos and his coach for life
Still today it is among the ugliest episodes in the history of the Olympics
Taekwondo is based on principles of respect and Matos’ gesture is absolutely unjustifiable

In particular, Troilo was stopped with a one-day disqualification “for committing a foul intervention on an opponent in possession of a clear net opportunity”. Gagliardini and Pongracic also received one round of suspension “for misbehavior against an opponent; already warned (Fifth sanction)”. The Parma defender will miss the away match in Pisa, where the Ducali will take on the Nerazzurri on Monday, Dec. 8, at 3 p.m. The Verona midfielder will not be available to Zanetti for the challenge with Atalanta, scheduled for Saturday evening at 8:45 p.m. at the Bentegodi, while the Fiorentina defender will miss in the match with Sassuolo, set for Saturday at 3 p.m. at the Mapei Stadium.

Guendouzi was fined “for having, at the end of the match, while leaving the field of play, made provocative gestures to the supporters of the opposing team; an offense detected by an aide of the Federal Prosecutor”. The failure to award the penalty to the biancocelesti after Pavlovic’s elbow touch in the Rossoneri’s penalty area (reviewed under VAR by referee Collu, who had previously recognized a foul by Marusic) has caused debate. However, one thing is clear and evident: Lazio felt defrauded, so much so that, in the post-match, president Claudio Lotito opted for a press silence. The’only official communication came via a post by the biancoceleste club itself in which Lazio&#8217s thoughts on what was seen at San Siro are clear.

Among the coaches, Allegri was disqualified and fined “for having, at the 52nd minute of the second half, while the match director was preparing to carry out an “on field review”, first heading toward the locker room tunnel as a sign of dissent, and later reaching the’referee in the review area, challenged the referee&#8217s decision in an intimidating manner; after being notified of the expulsion order, while leaving the playing area, he assumed a provocative attitude toward a member of the opposing bench”. The Diavolo coach will therefore not be on the bench against Torino where Milan will take on the granata on Monday, Dec. 8, at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
