The direct clash between Napoli and Inter ended 1-1, and, as often happens when playing a big match in Serie A, there were no lack of refereeing controversies from both sides. Fans of both teams immediately after the final whistle of the game contested the referee’s conduct, demanding a penalty for each team.
In today’s pages of La Gazzetta dello Sport, the playback is also always proposed. According to the pink, at the 20th minute, Inter would be right because there is a missing penalty kick for the black and blue due to a McTominay foul against Dumfries, just a few moments before the free kick that Dimarco magically transformed into a goal was granted.
Nothing to do instead for the penalty requested by the azure players who at the 33′ saw Dumfries block in the area a shot with his arm. As always explained by Gazzetta, in this circumstance, it is not a penalty kick because the Dutch winger uses his arm only as protection and without enlarging the volume of the body. In conclusion, there are a couple of yellow cards missing for each side that the referee Doveri could have pulled out.
