The Italian newspaper 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' ran the following headline regarding the refereeing performance in AC Milan's 3-2 win against Atalanta at San Siro:
"Pulisic, no goal. Both penalties are correct"
On Chukwueze’s low cross, Pulisic is in an onside position, but before the ball reaches him, there is a touch from Ramos, and at that point the American ends up offside. The goal is disallowed.
First penalty for Milan: a powerful right-footed shot from Musah, and Obric deflects it with his hand. The arm is not in a natural position, makes the body bigger, and the contact is punishable. Chiffi goes to the video monitor and awards the penalty.
Second penalty: a powerful left-footed shot from Rabiot, Kristensen has his arms behind his back, then comes the sudden impulse. He inexplicably extends his left arm and immediately pulls it back. This time too, the penalty is awarded through the video review.
The referees ratings in AC Milan - Atalanta 3-2 match:
Chiffi: For the two penalties, which were not easy to spot, VAR was needed. The late whistles heated things up a little. The foul on Ederson towards the end deserved a second yellow card.
