CorSera: Milan left feeling ‘anger’ – penalty decision in Lazio loss ‘did not go down well’ | OneFootball

AC Milan were left unhappy by the decision to award Lazio a penalty right at the end of Sunday’s game, according to a report this morning.

With virtually the final kick of the game at San Siro two nights ago, Lazio won it and it came in very controversial circumstances. Gustav Isaksen was at the centre of it again – after the red card incident involving Strahinja Pavlovic – as he went down claiming to have been taken out by Mike Maignan.

Despite the fact that he took a touch almost at a right angle and the ball was going for a goal kick, and the fact Isaksen kept running in a straight line, the referee was called over to the VAR monitor and gave the spot kick after just one replay.

According to Corriere della Sera (via MilanPress), there are ‘no excuses’ regarding the defeat and the performance, but there is ‘anger because of a decision that did not go down well because it was considered wrong’.

This is what leaked from Casa Milan after the penalty awarded during added time at the end of Milan-Lazio in favour of the Biancocelesti for Maignan’s challenge on Isaksen. The refereeing heads deemed the decision of the referee Manganiello and the VAR chief Mazzoleni correct.

However, Milan disagree. The paper writes that the Rossoneri club – without raising their voice publicly – ‘asked for greater attention’. Being in ninth place is certainly not the fault of the referees alone, but certain decisions weigh on the balance of a match.
