as someone who is a great passer in transition in any sport, i hated that 3-2 counter pass to Ronaldo. when you have a guy whos running with full steam ahead, you pass the ball forward so he doesent have to slow down or stop to collect it. it kills his momentum. should have played it left to Dybala rather
Imagine the fuzz if passed to Dybala and didnt result in goal.

watching from this angle, it definitely would have been the right play. look at Zapata being caught in between while Romagnoli is off to Ronaldo as Costa is about to pass it already. then Costa runs in the space between them, forcing Romagnoli to play him, leaving Ronaldo whos at full steam ahead wide open on the right
