After refereeing Inter-Lazio in the Coppa Italia last week, Michael Fabbri returns to refereeing in Serie A: he will do so on Friday evening in Cagliari-Genoa, an early match that opens the twenty-eighth day of the championship on Friday at 20:45 at the Unipol Domus after the withdrawal decided by the club . Alessandro Giallatini and Valerio Colarossi, both from the Roma 2 section, will be the assistant referees of the Aia section of Ravenna, with Marco Monaldi (Macerata) as the fourth official. The well-known Valerio Marini (previous matches that were certainly not positive with Cagliari) will be at the VAR, with Matteo Gariglio (Pinerolo) as assistant .
Cagliari are looking for their first win with Fabbri as referee this season in the match against Genoa . The other two results have arrived so far: a defeat on August 31st in Lecce (1-0, Patrick Dorgu was sent off for a bad foul on Matteo Prati detected only by VAR) and a draw - of importance - on November 9th with Milan at the Domus (3-3). In general, just 3 wins in 15 matches (then 6 draws and as many defeats), the last victory 0-2 in Crotone on January 28, 2021. Curiosity: never a victory for the rossoblù with him at the Domus (the aforementioned draw with Milan and 2 defeats), because the only home successes came at the Sant'Elia in 2016-2017, 3-0 against Atalanta and 4-1 against Genoa.
These are the referee designations for the twenty-eighth day of Serie A, scheduled from Friday to Monday.
