Referee Analysis Flags Possible Penalty Missed in Juventus-Milan Draw

Harry Jackson·September 7, 2026·2 min read

Referee analysis of Sunday’s Serie A match between Juventus and Milan has highlighted a potential penalty incident, according to Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport. The review focuses on a challenge by Milan defender De Winter on Juventus forward Kolo Muani, which the newspaper suggests appeared to be a foul.

The incident occurred during the match, which ended in a draw. La Gazzetta dello Sport’s report indicates that while the De Winter-Kolo Muani collision looked like a penalty upon review, a separate appeal involving a player named Gila was correctly waved away. The outlet’s analysis suggests the officiating crew may have missed a clear spot-kick opportunity for the home side.

Beyond the officiating debate, the match has sparked wider discussion about both teams’ performances. La Gazzetta dello Sport also noted criticism on social media directed at Juventus defender Gatti, who was singled out for his celebratory reaction despite the team not pushing for a win. Italian outlet Ultimo Uomo echoed this sentiment, reporting that both Juventus and Milan still have significant work to do if they are to meet their ambitions this season.

Player ratings from Corriere della Sera painted a mixed picture. Gatti was praised for his aggressive approach, earning a 7, while Kolo Muani struggled to make an impact, receiving a 5. For Milan, Moreira was marked down for a timid display, also scoring 5, but Cissé stood out with a 7.5 for his decisive contribution.
