Italian papers respond to Rodriguez-SMS contact: 'Rocchi right not to give a penalty'
As reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, Rocchi was right to cancel the first penalty awarded to Milan for Acerbi's handball in the penalty box but the second penalty was clear after Durmisi's foul on Musacchio.
Meanwhile, in the above-mentioned moment, Rodriguez touched the ball first by deflecting the trajectory and removing the potential possession of the Serbian player. Turin-based Tuttosport agree with this, pointing out that first there was contact with the ball and then the opponent.
Milan sits 4th in the Serie A table and increased their lead over Lazio to 6 points, with the team from the capital having one game less (vs Udinese).
