The penalty was whistled in the 6th minute of the game by referee Massimi: Arnautovic’s shot was touched by Kabasele’s arm

Penalty called, penalty taken. It happened at San Siro during the Italian Cup round of 16 between Simone Inzaghi’s Inter and Kosta Runjaic’s Udinese (the winner will challenge Lazio in the quarterfinals).
Referee Massimi whistled a penalty in favor of the Nerazzurri in the 6th minute touch with my arm Of Kabasele on a not very precise conclusion of Arnautovic.

The Austrian entered the area, after a beautiful through pass from Asllani (in this massive turnover he is on the pitch in place of Calhanoglu), and attempted the shot. A somewhat lopsided conclusion. Once the penalty was awarded, some Udinese players protested and the match director was called to the monitor by Var.

The check took about two minuteswhile viewing on the monitor was fast. The referee Massimi did an about-face not punishing Kabasele’s sliding touch. And we started again from 0-0 with the ball going to Piana, to the Bianconeri goalkeeper. A decision that left Inzaghi and the Inter players perplexed.
