In the post-match narrative, two episodes that could have clearly directed the progress of last night’s derby and, in general, of the qualification for the final of the Italian Cup, seem almost to go unnoticed.
The episodes in question are both in the second half and occur in the two penalty areas. The first is Skriniar’s tackle against Giroud. Clear, clear, sunny, with Mariani who has a full view of what happened. But neither for him nor for the Var there is nothing. Yet the AC Milan striker is sunk in the heart of the penalty area amidst protests from the stadium and the Rossoneri players.
The second episode occurs in the AC Milan area and is Lautaro Martinez’s stomp on Mike Maignan. The Argentine’s foot is leveled with the cleats that sink the blow, with the damage that is caused when the ball is far away.
