There was a highlight controversial moment during AC Milan’s 1-1 draw with Roma last night involving a penalty shout in the first half.
Any order in the game was completely lost early on by the referee Michele Fabbri, who had given out some early bookings to set the tone and then proceeded to show zero command over things.
The Milan players were convinced Reijnders had been slid through by Pisilli inside the box before the break, yet he gave no penalty. Paulo Fonseca was sent off for protesting in what proved to be his final game, while Theo Hernandez and Alvaro Morata were also booked.

Clearly a pen
When did a penalty call become co to gent on whether or not the player had a clear goal scoring opportunity? My understanding is that any foul inside the box against the attacking team is a penalty. If it’s a foul in midfield it’s a penalty in the box.
This! and sadly the referee blew the whistle for an eerily similar foul in midfield field just moments after this no-call. I’m one of the last to blame referees and typically dislike intervention from VAR, but this game was garbage from a management point. Highly inconsistent and not controlled in the least.
I think they changed the rules that you can actually tackle players without the ball – even inside the penalty box.
This is not a clear penalty and I’m sure if this was against us everyone would have complained if it was given. It’s a hard call and anyone who has proper knowledge of football will understand. Pisili was a bit far from Reijnders and Reijnders continues the run towards him even when Pisili is already on the ground. As much as I would have wanted a penalty it’s 50-50 some will give it others wont because like said it’s not a clear penalty!
Are you looking at the same clip as the rest of us?! This is a completely clear penalty and an utter failure by the referee squad, specifically VAR.
Pisili can’t be a “bit far from Reijnders” while also making clear and obvious physical contact with him. The only thing he was a “bit far from” was the ball since Reijnders had already cut directions and was actively pursuing the play. Reijnders wasn’t running towards Pisili, he was pursuing the ball. It’s not as if Pisili was simply standing firm and shielding Reijnders off the ball. Reijnders had made the move to dribble round the defense and Pisili went to ground with an errant tackle to stop him. Obvious foul and one called in midfield just moments later.
You can call it 50-50 if you want in real time, but Fabbri needed to be consistent with his judgment and whoever was running VAR must have fallen asleep. I only recall two offside reviews from the booth none of which were even needed in real time. The game in general was referred in a very poor manner overall.
Watch it from a different angle and than you will see that when pisili started sliding REIJNDERS was far from him. Again what I’m saying is this isn’t a clear penalty some would give it others won’t. Now let’s move on complaining doesn’t give us a penalty back
You dont have eyes Ray Charles? Dude took out Deers standing leg
Change your name from Grande to piccolo
LOL!!!!! Not a penalty???? In which sport? Jailhouse soccer? Australian football?
I watched serie a highlights a few days prior, and I wondered how that was not given. The ref, and the VAR officials, really fumbled. It has nothing to do with being a milan fan.
It was 100% a penalty.
Reijnders was changing direction and was denied the chance to chase the ball. The defender missed the ball and slide right through him.
It was a brilliant fake by my Deer boy. Clear pen, all day any day. This is not even a 50-50 like previous ones ie can go either way. Player took out his standing leg. How this was not called can’t believe it.
There is nothing to watch, if it was Inter’s player it would be given as a pen instantly , referees lost every respect for milan ,but what to even expect from them when our menagement disrespects everything that this team means,coaches ,club legends,captains ,italians in team,they disrespect everything about this team and they led us to this.
