Great controversy for Inter-Cagliari, with the Sardinians finding the goal for a 2-2 draw thanks to a handball by Gianluca Lapadula. The Peruvian striker played a key role in a move that served the ball to the center of the box to Viola. The number 10 midfielder was free to volley from close range past Sommer, equalizing the score. Great celebrations for the Sardinian players who secured an important point at San Siro. Protests, however, from the Nerazzurri players and fans who loudly demanded a handball call on social media.
What happened
At the 83rd minute, a ball lofted to the edge of the box was sent forward by Prati who found Lapadula. The striker had slotted in well between the opposing defenders and at the moment of controlling the ball, it hit his arm. The trajectory became perfect for Viola who followed up and shot on goal with certainty, beating Sommer. The referee did not intervene nor did the VAR take action, sparking protests from the Nerazzurri. Even Luca Marelli, a refereeing pundit for Dazn, confirmed that the action should have been annulled for the handball by the former Milan player.
