Kempf questions whether referee made the wrong call for Milan penalty: "I don't know"

"AC Milan levelled things up late in the first half, thanks to a penalty from Christopher Nkunu. However, it was apparently a dubious one, from a Como perspective. Yesterday's game was certainly an intriguing one. Was it a classic game in the history of football? No. Was it a classic display of Massimiliano Allegri's brand of football? Absolutely. Milan were not great at all, but they got the job done, showing up when it mattered."

"The focus, naturally, falls on Adrien Rabiot, who was instrumental, as well as Mike Maignan. However, everyone played a part, and Allegri will now request the same level of performance from his team moving forward. Kempf makes referee claim Things could have been much different, though. Nkunku's penalty was almost saved, and there are even some claims from Como that the decision was questionable. Speaking after the game, via MilanNews, Marc Kempf discussed the decision. Is there any regret over not having finished the game? Were you injured? "We played a great match against a great team. We'll try to do better next time. As for the substitution? I felt some discomfort and preferred not to risk it for the upcoming matches." Your personal story about the goal and the penalty... "About the goal. I was happy to have scored another goal against a great team. Penalty? I don't know if it's always a penalty; maybe another referee wouldn't have awarded it.""

AC Milan levelled late in the first half via a Christopher Nkunku penalty that Como view as dubious. Milan produced an unconvincing display but secured the result, reflecting Massimiliano Allegri's pragmatic approach. Adrien Rabiot and Mike Maignan were instrumental, while other players also contributed. Nkunku's penalty was almost saved, reinforcing perceptions that the decision was marginal and contestable. Marc Kempf acknowledged scoring for Como, questioned the certainty of the penalty call, and said his late substitution was due to discomfort rather than avoiding the remainder of the match. Allegri will demand consistent performance going forward.
