Federico Dimarco caused a penalty kick during the first half of Fiorentina–Inter, but many believe the Nerazzurri defender should have also been sent off while he wasn’t even booked.
The Italy international committed a foul on Giacomo Bonaventura when the Nerazzurri were 2-0 up in the first half.
Referee Paolo Valeri initially didn’t see the foul but was quickly urged to have a VAR check for a potential penalty incident.
It didn’t take long for the referee to complete the review and award a penalty kick to Fiorentina, but according to many fans and pundits, Dimarco’s studs-up challenge deserved a red card, while the ex-Verona full-back wasn’t even booked.
Watch the images below. Do you think Dimarco deserved to be sent off?
It’s binter, they can rugby tackle a toloi in the area and get away with it. LADRI
If it were Milan it would’ve been 3 red cards and a ban for life for the player

Yeah like when Giroud fouled Sanchez and Theo elbowed Barella last season… when you stole the league
@Lord Cherubini PHD of the Mercato
That same game you are referring to a pk was awarded AGAINST Inter (against Bastoni).
Red card? Yes.
100% red card, I’m appalled it wasn’t even a yellow. Something fishy is going on..
the referee will say ‘but the player didn’t complain….’
@Francesco Funny you mention 1=2 things but forget how many point the refs gave you, that win against Torino for example…
Yellow
@Transfer Guru
Had the ref not gifted the derby to Milan last season the league would have been pretty much over by the time Inter played vs Torino. Do you have other examples aside from Torino btw which Inter got 1 point in only? I can mention several calls that cost Inter the 2020 and 2022 Scudetti
