"AC Milan saw their point disappear in the final moments of the game against Genoa, as the visitors were given a spot kick. However, they did not convert and the draw was confirmed. The feeling when it was deemed that Davide Bartesaghi had made a foul inside the box was a low one. It seemed that Milan had recreated their game against Cremonese, with a 2-1 defeat to start the year, rather than the season."
"However, when Nicolae Stanciu stepped up to take the spot kick, he blazed his shot over the bar, and the Rossoneri breathed a collective sigh of relief. Not the most celebrated moment, but an important one nonetheless. Whether it should have been a penalty is another conversation entirely, and DAZN's referee expert has contested the decision given. However, that is not the focus for now."
AC Milan had a late point threatened when Genoa were awarded a penalty after Davide Bartesaghi was judged to have fouled inside the box. Nicolae Stanciu stepped up and blazed his spot kick over the bar, preserving a 1-1 draw for the Rossoneri. The moment felt deflating given similarities to a previous 2-1 defeat to Cremonese. DAZN's referee expert contested the penalty decision, though attention shifted elsewhere. Strahinja Pavlovic was credited for making a divot at the penalty spot, and observers suggested the disturbed surface may have contributed to the miss. The missed penalty could prove decisive for the season.
