English referee Chris Kavanagh didn’t put his foot wrong in last night’s Champions League match between Inter Milan and Slavia Prague.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 40-year-old enjoyed a spotless performance at San Siro.
It’s worth noting that the game unfolded at a slow pace, with Inter assuming complete control of proceedings.
Indeed, Slavia’s defensive approach and Inter’s reluctance to do things in a hurry made Kavanagh’s job considerably easier.

After a quiet first half, Chris Kavanagh showed three yellow cards post halftime.
Indeed, Yann Bisseck was the first player to get into the referee’s notebook for a reckless tackle on Lukas Provod.
Then, Lautaro Martinez received a booking for a naive foul on David Zima.
El Toro should have known better than to pull the Czech center-back from behind.
Finally, Kavanagh sanctioned Ivan Schranz for a late challenge on Alessandro Bastoni.
Meanwhile, VAR had no reason to intervene as all three Inter goals were crystal clear.
Good win, controlled whole game, no allowed goal. Many are sceptic about Chivu’s future, but he didn’t have a bad start at all. 2 wins in CL with 5:0 goal difference, in league could’ve been better start, but 9 points out of 15, not that bad. Season is long, you are expected to lose some and draw some. I think more of us are pissed more because we lost in that way in derby, but hopefully we’ll thrash them in rematch.
At the end of the season i believe Chivu will realise objective he was given, top 4 in league and 16 best in CL, probably will even exceed that.
