A penalty for each side, at least that's what the fans are asking for on social media after seeing the contact between Immobile and Acerbi. During the Inter-Lazio match, valid for the semi-finals of Supercoppa Italy, the Nerazzurri were able to double thanks to a penalty kick scored by Hakan Calhanoglu. Initially, the contact was not seen by Marchetti who was called to the Var. After the On Field Review, the referee from Ostia awarded the penalty.

Penalty on Immobile, what happened

There are not many doubts about the penalty kick as the images show how Pedro trips Lautaro in the area. What is causing the Lazio fans, but also those of other teams, to go wild is the contact between Acerbi and Immobile in the Nerazzurri area. From the images, it can be seen how the defender holds back the number 17 biancoceleste who then ends up on the ground also causing his former teammate to fall. The gesture has sparked controversy among the Lazio fans, who have loudly demanded on social media a shot from eleven meters: "It would be nice if they also gave penalties to others". This is how a fan starts, to which another replies: "If the roles were reversed, it would certainly have been a penalty". Even some Juventus fans have joined the discussion: "I would give Acerbi a penalty" and again "There is no limit to the shame" or "Give them the cup directly". Finally, there is also someone who goes the other way: "They talk about referees, but if the score had been 7-0 it would have been normal".
