This is big! This is Huge! Samardzic clumsy, so clumsy, very late trying to clear a loose ball and Cambiaghi gets there first, so he just boots Cambiaghi!

Frosinone off the upright!

Matias Soule comes forward, shot comes off the base of the far post! Then the move continues and Sorrentino has to make a save on Harroui too before Valeri blasts over!

Still not playing in Monza

They are waiting to figure out what to do next.

If communication cannot be restored with the VAR – which btw is not in the stadium, it’s one big hub in Lissone – then play would have to resume without VAR and both teams accepting that.

OH what a chance that was! Lucca cross from the right, Keinan Davis header back across the face of goal and WIDE from six yards!

57'
Confusion in Monza

The referee and the fourth official seem to have lost contact with the VAR booth… They’re talking on the phone instead.
