As a corner came in from the left side, Holm went down holding his face claiming that Olivier Giroud had struck him with his boot, and although nothing was given on the field Orsato pointed to the spot after a VAR check.
The slow-motion replays available cast strong doubt on the decision, mainly because Giroud definitely did not touch Holm’s face with his boot and there are big question marks about whether he even catches him at all.
Teun Koopmeiners would go on to convert the penalty, which ended up earning Atalanta a draw from a game in which they were largely second best. Stefano Pioli made it clear after the game that he was not happy with the call.
