Corriere dello Sport have added their voice to the growing chorus of criticism directed at the officiating in Inter Milan’s 1-1 draw with Atalanta, declaring without ambiguity that the Nerazzurri were denied a clear penalty for a foul on Frattesi and that VAR should have intervened to correct the mistake.
The outlet’s verdict on the Frattesi-Scalvini incident is unsparing, via FCInterNews.
“If Manganiello from his position on the pitch may not have correctly seen the contact in the penalty area. VAR Gariglio, who also had the experienced Chiffi alongside him, should have called him to the On Field Review.”
Inter 1-1 Atalanta – Corriere Claim ‘Clear’ Penalty Missed On Frattesi
The dynamic of the incident is described as “clear.”
Inter’s player gets to the ball first and is kicked on the right foot by the Atalanta defender.
“It would have been correct to award the penalty in favour of the home side.”
Corriere also revisit the Atalanta equaliser.
Indeed, noting that Sulemana’s push on Dumfries “appears to be a foul.”
And, furthermore, flagging an additional foot-to-foot contact between the two players.
One that they believe also warranted further examination by the officials.
The protests from the Inter bench proved costly.
Chivu was sent off after accumulating two yellow cards during the furious closing exchanges, a suspension that will now hang over the Nerazzurri’s trip to Fiorentina on Sunday.
Even if he is getting older ,I prefer Darmian more thanDumb fris and the brazilian ,he is a player eho slways gave his heart outand verrrh rdliable Enriqud needz a lot more time ,but sunce Chive wanted him he kedpd industing on him
Let’s be honest, regardless of the Frattesi incident, Dumfries cost us two points. Instead of kicking the ball out, or even passing it back to Sommer, he decided to simulate, knowing that in the case his bluff fails, the opponent will be alone in front of our goalkeeper, which resulted in a goal.
Yep. Dumfries has always had a penchant for theatrical flailing. It’s never been convincing. Crazy to do that facing our own goal as the last man.
Fratessi foul was a scandal and I can only make sense of it by assuming someone running serie A wants a tight finish for the scudetto race.
