Sunday’s Serie A clash saw Genoa lose to Inter Milan, with referee Daniele Doveri navigating the match with minimal controversy.

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 48-year-old didn’t make a single critical error at the Marassi.

Inter Milan squeezed past Genoa, as Yann Bisseck and Lautaro Martinez scored in a narrow 2-1 victory.

Meanwhile, Vitinha netted Genoa’s consolation goal in the second half, profiting from Alessandro Bastoni’s sluggish reaction.

Despite conceding another cheap goal, the Nerazzurri secured their third consecutive league triumph.

Though it was a physical contest at Stadio Luigi Ferraris, there was just one controversial incident.

Indeed, Alessandro Marcandalli put his hands on Petar Sucic’s body while trying to prevent the Croatian from crossing.

Furthermore, the contact occurred inside the penalty area, only for Doveri to wave ‘play on.’

Marcandalli risked a lot, but the feeling was that Doveri made the right decision.

Meanwhile, Lautaro avoided offside before assisting Bisseck for the opening goal, with Sebastian Otoa leaving him onside.
