The performance of Mr. Maurizio Mariani was discreet last night, despite the fact that Milan-Atalanta was a match full of duels, tensions and contacts.
A fair penalty was given to Atalanta, even if a few minutes earlier Mariani could have sanctioned Hateboer with a yellow card who was guilty of having hit Kalulu.
The referee against Zlatan Ibrahimovic was very strict : in the first half Mariani whistled a foul in attack by the Swede for alleged charge against goalkeeper Gollini. In reality Ibra, as can be seen from the replays , jumps without hitting the goalkeeper, who loses the ball independently. It could have been a great opportunity for the Rossoneri.
Both the first and third goals of Atalanta are regular. Romero is not offside at the moment of Ilicic's free-kick and neither is Zapata on Romero's winning assist. This was reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
