"A ball was sent long and as the Portuguese forward attempted to win it, he went to the floor holding his hair. He then approached referee Simone Sozza to say that the Italian defender had pulled him down by his hair. There was then a coming together between the pair, but Sozza seemed to be more strict with Leao, despite the video replays showing that he was very much telling the truth regarding what the former Lazio man had done."
"Videos from DAZN's BordoCam are now showing what Acerbi's response was: "I didn't do it on purpose. What are you pointing your finger at me for? Next time I'll cut your finger off." Acerbi: "la prossima volta ti stacco il dito" Il tutto successo sotto agli occhi dell'arbitro, ma niente neanche un'ammonizione.

Milan won the Derby della Madonnina 1-0 thanks to a Christian Pulisic goal. In the first half a long ball led to a clash between Francesco Acerbi and Rafael Leao, with Leao falling while holding his hair and informing referee Simone Sozza that the defender had pulled his hair. Video replays supported Leao's account, yet the referee appeared to be stricter with Leao and Acerbi received no card. DAZN BordoCam footage captured Acerbi telling Leao he did not do it on purpose and adding a threat—"Next time I'll cut your finger off." A social post highlighted the lack of sanction.
