There are those who still discuss the many penalties granted to Milan this season, but as always they must be discussed in detail. Yesterday, two other penalties were whistled in favour of Stefano Pioli's team, which certainly made Sinisa Mihajlovic angry.
Gazzetta dello Sport's assessment of the referee Doveri was a positive one. The most discussed was the first penalty, granted in the 24th minute of the first half. Rafael Leao escapes from Dijks but before attempting to find the ball, Rafa was restrained quickly but sharply by the Dutch defender. Penalty initially considered generous, but the images and replays confirm the right decision of the referee.
The second penalty is also very clear, the defender of Bologna, Soumaoro, took the ball away from Ibrahimovic with his hand.
Also, on Rebic's winning tap-in on the occasion of the 1-0 AC Milan: the Croatian starts behind the penalty area line at the time of Ibrahimovic's penalty.
On the other hand, there is no irregular contact in the first action between Ibrahimovic and Skorupski : the Polish goalkeeper clearly anticipates the outgoing AC Milan striker, intervening only on the ball.
