Rafael Leao scored the fastest goal in Serie A history in the match against Sassuolo. It took the AC Milan forward just 6 seconds and 76 cents to overtake the Rossoneri at Mapei Stadium against Roberto De Zerbi’s neroverdi: however, reviewing the action in slow motion, it seems that the Portuguese goal is irregular, according to Luca Abogado Marelli and former referee.
“Let’s dispel a possible root controversy. In Milan’s first goal, Leao has one foot in the other half of the field. Theoretically it is irregular but not of the VAR: no revisions of game shots are allowed”, this is the tweet of the former whistle that generated comments on social networks.

Dynamics
Marelli explains why Rafael Leao’s goal is irregular: for now Hakan calhanoglu and Brahim Díaz started, in fact, Rafael Leao already has his foot inside the other half of the field, thus committing an irregularity. However, as Marelli explains, the Var cannot intervene in these circumstances and even if everything had been reviewed in detail, it would not have been possible to go back.
According to the former career director, these dynamics are difficult to assess also because they happen so often and it is almost always impossible to notice them directly. The same more or less analogous discourse applies to the lineouts that they are never, or almost never, taken out in the correct place where the ball actually came out with the referees who most of the time tend to turn a blind eye to avoid continuing to whistle the counterattacks.
Leao’s goal, therefore, remains perfectly regular and enters the history of Italian and European football by right. “We had prepared this situation,” he admitted Stefano pioli as proof of how his Milan has clear ideas from the first moments of the game. The Rossoneri, now, enjoy the primacy waiting to reach the break from the top of the class: it will be enough to beat Simone Inzaghi’s Lazio to close 2020 with a flourish.
