Terverifikasi Administratif dan Faktual oleh Dewan Pers
Wasit pun tak ragu melayangkan kartu kuning kedua selang 3 detik kemudian.
Kartu merah Mandzukic mendapat perhatian khusus dari pengguna media sosial twitter. Berikut reaksinya:
What happened to VAR now? Only used against Juve? First of all this would’ve been a penalty if VAR was used. Clear impact from the Udinese defender on Mandzukic. Next he proceeds to instigate Mandzukic on the ground. Yellow Card to Udinese Defender, Red Card to Mandzukic... pic.twitter.com/bpVm2gLXJr

We deserved a penalty and a yellow to Ali Adnan, instead we get red card for Mandzukic. Not smart from Mario.
