Kralovec showed why he was allowed to join the Refereeing Talent Group. For the full ninety minutes he had the match under control. The players helped him as well, because they didn't protest or simulate fouls. In a match with more than 40 fouls Kralovec saw every last one of them and gave the advantage every time he could. He showed four yellow cards all correctly and one penalty to Sampdoria after a stupid foul by Ljubicic. The assistants were focused and they didn't miss any offsides.
The one mistake Kralovec made, was when two players , one from each team, ran into the penalty area and were thus both less than 11 meters from the goal while Montella took a penalty, the penalty should have been retaken.
One word is enough:boring. The team's didn't show almost anything and they don't deserve any compliments.
