"Denzel Dumfries felt he was fouled by Kamaldeen Sulemana before the Atalanta winger's shot was parried for Nikola Krstovic to turn home. Referee Gianluca Manganiello appeared to put his whistle to his mouth when the challenge was made, but never blew it and the goal stood when there was no VAR intervention."
"Inter boss Cristian Chivu was sent off and the hosts were enraged further when Mangianello decided not to award a penalty when Davide Frattesi went down under a challenge from Giorgio Scalvini. Host broadcasters DAZN confirmed that no one from Inter would speak to the media after the result."
"Atalanta boss Raffaele Palladino refused to be drawn on the controversial decisions, instead focusing on praising his side for their response after a 6-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League in midweek. This is a great squad. I've been asking so much of then for the last four months, and I want to publicly thank them for all their efforts."
Inter drew 1-1 with Atalanta in a match marred by refereeing controversy. Inter took the lead through Francesco Pio Esposito in the 13th minute, but Atalanta equalized in the 82nd minute under disputed circumstances. Denzel Dumfries appeared fouled before Atalanta's goal, yet referee Gianluca Manganiello did not intervene, and VAR made no call. Inter manager Cristian Chivu was sent off, and further frustration arose when a penalty was not awarded for Davide Frattesi's challenge. In protest, Inter declined all media interviews following the match.
