Inter Milan 1-1 Atalanta – Not Just Frattesi: Dumfries Denied A Penalty Too | OneFootball

The refereeing controversy surrounding Inter Milan’s 1-1 draw with Atalanta runs deeper than the Frattesi incident with a second penalty claim, this one involving Denzel Dumfries and Ederson, emerging as another flashpoint that Manganiello and VAR both failed to address.

The sequence began in the same passage of play that has already drawn widespread criticism.

After the initial contact further up the pitch, the ball moved toward the byline.

While still inside the area, Ederson and Dumfries contested possession in a shoulder-to-shoulder duel.

According to SportMediaset, via FCInterNews, the Atalanta midfielder then extended his left leg and brought Dumfries down.

Neither Manganiello on the pitch nor the VAR team intervened, a decision that is now drawing significant scrutiny.

The AIA, it is reported, have already privately acknowledged that the officiating in the closing stages was below the required standard, and the matter will be addressed at the Open VAR broadcast.

The Frattesi penalty denial has dominated the headlines, but the Dumfries incident adds another layer to Inter’s legitimate grievances.

And, indeed, strengthens the case that the Nerazzurri were denied far more than a single spot kick in a match that could prove pivotal in the Scudetto race.
