Overview
- Inter won the Derby d’Italia 3-2 at San Siro with a 90th‑minute strike from Piotr Zieliński, extending their Serie A lead to eight points.
- Referee Federico La Penna showed Kalulu a second yellow just before halftime for a foul on Alessandro Bastoni, a decision television replays indicated involved little or no contact.
- Juventus executives Giorgio Chiellini and Damien Comolli denounced the officiating as unacceptable, confronted La Penna in the tunnel, and urged refereeing designator Gianluca Rocchi to resign.
- Rocchi apologized publicly, said the decision was “clearly wrong,” highlighted VAR’s inability to review yellow cards, and suggested there was simulation in the incident as La Penna was described as mortified.
- Inter coach Cristian Chivu defended Bastoni as feeling a light touch, while Alessandro Del Piero criticized both the player’s reaction and Chivu’s comments, as calls grew to revisit VAR and booking protocols with no immediate changes announced.
