Referee Federico La Penna Meets Expectations in Inter Milan Win vs Torino

It was a one-sided affair at San Siro, with no contentious incidents that would cast a shadow on Inter’s win.

Indeed, VAR didn’t have to intervene at all. That wasn’t because La Penna was lenient, but rather because the game flowed smoothly.

However, there was one controversial moment.

La Penna exchanged a few words with Alessandro Bastoni and Franco Israel right before Inter’s opener.

Indeed, the Nerazzurri center-back tried to block the Torino goalkeeper.

Yet, Bastoni stepped aside after the referee’s intervention shortly before heading home Nicolo Barella’s cross.

Otherwise, La Penna’s performance remained impeccable throughout.
