Referees Concede Inter Deserved Penalty vs Atalanta
15 Mar
Summary
- Italian Referees Association acknowledged Inter's penalty claim.
- A late challenge on Frattesi was deemed a foul by AIA.
- This mirrors a similar admission from last season.
The Italian Referee Association (AIA) has acknowledged that Inter Milan were unfairly denied a penalty during their recent 1-1 draw with Atalanta. This admission supports Inter's decision to impose a media blackout following the match.
According to reports, AIA officials present at the stadium confirmed that a late challenge by Scalvini on Frattesi should have been a penalty. This incident is notably similar to a prior occasion last season when the AIA conceded a missed foul against Inter in a match against Roma.
These controversial decisions, including the Frattesi appeal and another incident involving Dumfries, have reopened the Scudetto race. The AIA's concession now means the damage regarding the missed call is already done, impacting the league standings at a critical juncture.
