JAKARTA - Inter Milan lost when they hosted Juventus at Giuseppe Meazza, Monday, March 20, early morning WIB. La Benemata lost with a narrow score of 0-1.

Juventus' only goal was scored by Filip Kostic in the 23rd minute. This match was also marked by two red cards, namely for Leandro Paredes (Juventus) and Danilo D'Ambrosio (Inter Milan).

After the match, Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi was annoyed. He felt Inter were not respected after Kostif's goal was approved by the referee after reviewing VAR.

Previously, Kostic's goal was questioned because the ball was deemed to have touched Adrien Rabiot's arm while doing a build-up. After the referee saw VAR, the goal was deemed legal.

This is Inter's third defeat of their last four Serie A games, and Inzaghi was angered by the judge's decision.

"To be honest talking about football was difficult for me, it was even difficult for me to talk to the team after the first half. We tried to fix it, even though there was an unacceptable goal," complained Inzaghi, after the game.

"What happened was too serious. Lack of respect. It was an unusual goal that punished us, in difficult times, difficult matches. Breaking goals like this is unacceptable," he continued.

When asked if he had spoken to referee Daniele Chiffi in the hope of clarification, Inzaghi replied. "No, it's so clear that I feel not true. There's such a clear and flashy picture."

Inzaghi's response sparked the annoyance of Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri. He asked the rival not to comment much on the referee.

"Don't make me angry," Allegri told DAZN after the match. "The referee's decision must be accepted. The decision goes one way or another."

"Don't be too noisy, it's not easy for Chiffi to be a referee. Let's talk about football, not referees." I say if VAR is objective, it's functional, but if it becomes subjective, it becomes a problem."

"Tonight is an objective case, we don't cause controversy. The less we talk about referees, the more we help them," he said.
