Refereeing expert Luca Marelli agrees with Fiorentina protests that the AC Milan penalty incident was ‘outside the protocol’ of VAR, because it was not a ‘clear and obvious error.’

Max Allegri explains his tactical decisions after AC Milan beat Fiorentina with a Rafael Leao brace to go top of the table. ‘I needed to have some options off the bench.’

Stefano Pioli feels Fiorentina ‘did not deserve to be on the losing side’ against Milan, as the penalty is ‘encouraging players to continue simulating, because they know it pays off.’

Rafael Leao is Football Italia’s MOTM in Milan’s 2-1 win over an unlucky Fiorentina.

Fiorentina director Daniele Pradè hit out at the ‘scandalous’ VAR decision giving Milan a 2-1 victory, but also accepted ‘blame’ for their current predicament. ‘Stefano Pioli can get us out of this.’

Rafael Leao feels the ‘team emerged’ after breaking the deadlock to turn Fiorentina around, but Luka Modric warns his AC Milan teammate ‘is one of the best in the world and can still improve.’

Shaban Abubakar struck in the 49th minute, finishing off a well-worked move to give Golden Kick the lead.Despite Semper Fis efforts to respond, the hosts defended resolutely and managed the game well to preserve their advantage until the final whistle. It was a frustrating outcome for Semper Fi, who had enjoyed a strong start to the season with one win and two draws, often looking the better side in each of their opening matches.The defeat will serve as a setback for the Teshie-based club, who will now turn their focus to next weeks fixture at the McDan Sports Complex, where they host Golden Warriors. With their unbeaten start now over, Semper Fi will be determined to bounce back quickly and rediscover their early-season form.
