AC Milan levelled things up late in the first half, thanks to a penalty from Christopher Nkunu. However, it was apparently a dubious one, from a Como perspective.
Yesterday’s game was certainly an intriguing one. Was it a classic game in the history of football? No. Was it a classic display of Massimiliano Allegri’s brand of football? Absolutely. Milan were not great at all, but they got the job done, showing up when it mattered.

The focus, naturally, falls on Adrien Rabiot, who was instrumental, as well as Mike Maignan. However, everyone played a part, and Allegri will now request the same level of performance from his team moving forward.
Kempf makes referee claim
Things could have been much different, though. Nkunku’s penalty was almost saved, and there are even some claims from Como that the decision was questionable. Speaking after the game, via MilanNews, Marc Kempf discussed the decision.
Is there any regret over not having finished the game? Were you injured?
“We played a great match against a great team. We’ll try to do better next time. As for the substitution? I felt some discomfort and preferred not to risk it for the upcoming matches.”
Your personal story about the goal and the penalty…
“About the goal. I was happy to have scored another goal against a great team. Penalty? I don’t know if it’s always a penalty; maybe another referee wouldn’t have awarded it.”
He came in recklessly fast and hard. It was a foolish mistake and he should own it.
This not even worth discussing. Couldn’t be much clearer.
I think the check was because of Saelemaekers the seconds before.

It was basically a copy of the 2006 World Cup final penalty for France.
Just in 2006 there was absolutely no contact between Materatzi and the attacker. That one would have been easily disallowed by VAR.
Lol… sore losers from the coach to the players. What an entertaining club they are.
If that was not a penalty then he need to look at the penalty Genoa got and most of penalties Inter have got.
