The referee was called by VAR to review the play in the final minute of stoppage time but instead of giving a penalty, the referee gave a free kick to Nantes for a Gleison Bremer's foul on Corchia.

Bremer and midfielder Manuel Locatelli both tried to score on Juan Cuadrado's ball in and it was Bremer who got his head to the ball.

After looking at the replay, it was clear that the ball was deflected by the hand of Corchia.

The referee supposedly saw a push of Bremer on Corchia's back, which led him to not give the penalty.

CBS Sports soccer rules expert Christina Unkel disagreed with the call and thought it was a clear error.

A penalty and conversion in the previous match would have been enough for Juventus to move on with just a draw next week.

Juventus's elimination would be a major disappointment for a team that has won the competition three times.
