Valerio Crezzini’s afternoon in Turin was controlled without becoming a story of its own, which is usually the preferred outcome for a referee in a Serie A match. The 6.5 assessment reflected a composed display in his third league appointment of the season and the 13th of his top-flight career.
Quick facts
- Valerio Crezzini took charge of his third Serie A fixture this season.
- It was the 13th Serie A match of his career.
- Only 14 fouls were called during the game.
- Bertola received the match’s only yellow card for a late challenge on Cacciamani.
- Udinese’s goal was confirmed after a VAR review of Enzo Ebosse’s position.
- Michael Volpi handled VAR duties without any notable intervention beyond the goal check.
Crezzini stayed close to the main incidents and kept his disciplinary approach measured. The low foul count was not a verdict on the match by itself, but it underlined a contest that did not repeatedly break into disputes or sustained disorder.
The sole caution went to Bertola, punished after arriving late on Cacciamani. There were no further disciplinary issues requiring the referee to alter his approach.
The longest review concerned Udinese’s scoring move. Attention centred on Ebosse when Solet played the ball, but the defender was level with Coco and therefore onside before supplying Ekkelenkamp.
VAR checked the sequence and allowed the goal to stand. Volpi’s work in the video room produced no further controversy, leaving Crezzini to close another quiet but useful step in his growing Serie A record.
